Likud party chief Binyamin Netanyahu, who was soon to replace Peres as prime minister, demanded that Hezbollah be "dismantled," and his two top lieutenants, Ariel Sharon and Rafael Eitan, called for Israel to expand its occupation zone in Lebanon north to the Litani River. In a televised interview on August 27, Nasrallah said that Hezbollah had "committed" not to show any military manifestation of the group south of the Litani River. The invasion of Lebanon and the creation of the 'security zone' in the south gave Israel greater control of the Jordan and Litani Rivers. |
