Likud MK: War with Lebanon a ‘matter of days,’ Beirut’s Dahiyeh will ‘look like Gaza’

Likud MK Nissim Vaturi, a member of the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, claims it is “a matter of days” before full-on war erupts between Israel and Lebanon.

Vaturi, a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ruling party, tells the Kan public broadcaster that when this happens, Beirut’s Dahiyeh suburb — a major Hezbollah stronghold — “will look like Gaza.”

“There is no other way,” Vaturi threatens, adding that Netanyahu is of the same opinion and that “this is something that will develop in the coming days.”

He says Netanyahu briefed military officials Sunday and told them “we must end this saga.”

Vaturi lays out his war plan, beginning with a major preemptive strike similar to the one that largely foiled a planned major Hezbollah rocket attack on central Israel recently, only this one would last at least 4-5 days, followed by a ground invasion.
