Israel would use "disproportionate" force to destroy Lebanese villages in any future war, an Israeli general said in remarks published on Friday.
"What happened in the Dahiya quarter of Beirut in 2006 will happen in every village from which Israel is fired on," said Gadi Eisenkot, head of the army's northern division.
Dahiya was a Hezbollah stronghold that Israel flattened and dropped cluster bombs in air raids during a 34-day attack two years ago.
"We will apply disproportionate force on it (village) and cause great damage and destruction there. From our standpoint, these are not civilian villages, they are military bases," Eisenkot told the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper.
"This is not a recommendation. This is a plan. And it has been approved," Eisenkot added.
Israel killed some 1,200 Lebanese and also 159 Israelis were killed during the war.
Human rights groups accused Israel of using excessive force that claimed the lives of innocent civilians.
Eisenkot said Hezbollah had significantly improved its rocket fire capability since the end of the war two years ago.
Israel has been often accused of violating a U.N.-brokered ceasefire by sending aircraft over Lebanon.
