Dahiya, Beirut before and after Israel's 2006 carpet bombing.

Rafi Eitan, the former head of Mossad, calls for the destruction of Gaza.

Israel Today: Is there a way to bring an end to the Gaza rocket fire on southern Israel?

Eitan: My opinion is that we should do in Gaza what we did to Hezbollah in Lebanon – we destroyed the Hezbollah’s infrastructure and they stopped shooting. And they haven’t dared to start again. And we don’t need a ground operation to accomplish this in Gaza, we can do it from the air.

Israel Today: Won’t the world condemn Israel for taking such harsh action?

Eitan: So they condemn. We should first tell the UN and the US that if Hamas is not made to stop the rocket fire, we will destroy the entire infrastructure of Gaza. We provide a warning, and then we do it.
