U.S. CENTCOM Commander: Israel's "Disintegration" of Hizbullah "Was Brilliant"
(JNS) Andrew Bernard - Commander of U.S. Central Command Gen. Michael Kurilla told Congress on Tuesday: "Hizbullah acted as a sort of Sword of Damocles over the top of Israel. Israel's - the doctrinal term is 'disintegration' - of Lebanese Hizbullah should be studied by every military. It was brilliant." Kurilla said that part of the problem in defeating the Houthis in Yemen is that they receive 80% of their supplies from Iranian smuggling vessels. "The hardest part is to find that ship. At any given time, there are between 3,000 and 5,000 dhows between Iran and the Bab el-Mandeb. That's the same distance from the tip of Florida to Boston."
