Operation Peace for Galilee is not a military operation resulting from the lack of an alternative.

You know as well as I do that counterinsurgency is a very nuanced type of military operation.

In a military operation, the command and control elements are a legitimate target.

I've always had the idea that we were conducting a military operation. It always seemed to me to be in a state of emergency.

The military operation in Lebanon was the most successful military operation in recent Israeli history. Many in Israel don't recognise that.

We attacked selected military targets of the P.L.O. Around, civilians were hurt, I don't want to deny it. Very regrettable, very regrettable. We regret it deeply.
