| 2010-08-29 |
| [An Nahar] The Israeli newspapers Jerusalem Post and Haaretz reported on warnings the U.S. administration had directed to Lebanon of a prepared plan by the Israeli army in which it can "destroy Beirut in four hours if Hizbullah does not halt its provocations." They said that U.S. Special Middle East Peace Envoy's Assistant Frederic Hof had recently warned Lebanese army commander General Jean Qahwaji that after the clashes at Adeisseh, Israel had devised an emergency plan that enables it to invade Lebanon and destroy its military bases in four hours. Hof had warned Qahwaji that Israel will go through with its plan if more clashes erupt on the border. |

| #3 The problem is that there is a difference between: destroying the Lebanese Army, destroying Hezbollah in Lebanon, and destroying Lebanon. Each is more difficult than the other, especially when Israel will be taken to task by everyone if even one person not in uniform is so much as scratched. |
