Israel Still Debating…

October 31, 2007

“The exemplary stories that were discovered in the wake of the war bear witness to the spirit of combat and camaraderie among IDF soldiers and are a source of pride for the Israel Defense Forces.”

—Lieutenant General Gabi Ashkenazi, August 9, 2007

“We crushed the plan to establish Greater Israel. We still have work to do, but we destroyed most of this plan…In July and August [2006], there was no place in occupied Palestine which was out of the reach of the resistance missiles. Tel Aviv or elsewhere, we were certain that we could reach any corner or spot in occupied Palestine and now we are certain that we can reach them.”

—Hassan Nasrallah speaking to Al-Jazeera, aired on July 23, 2007

“We had great achievements in this war. We also had not a few weaknesses and failures that we are trying to deal with…to fix, to deploy, to renovate, and to strengthen.”
