The member of Israeli Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee from the ruling Likud party Nissim Vaturi said that it is a “matter of days” before a full-scale war between Israel and Lebanon breaks out. Vaturi told Kan, Israel’s public broadcaster, that in case the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah escalates into war, the militant organization’s stronghold in Beirut’s Dahiyeh neighborhood “will look like Gaza.” Vaturi said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Israeli military officials during a briefing on Sunday that Israel “must end this saga” in a possible reference to the ongoing conflict with Hezbollah along the border with Lebanon. “There is no other way,” Vaturi stated, arguing in favor of a preemptive strike against Hezbollah that would culminate in a ground invasion.
