'Destroy Hezbollah' say majority of Israelis

Nearly nine out of 10 Israelis say the army’s week-old operation against Hezbollah is justified and nearly 60% say Israel should fight until the Lebanese guerrilla group is destroyed, according to an opinion poll published today.

The Dahaf poll, published in the Israeli daily Yediot Ahronot, found that 81% of Israelis want the military campaign to continue. Another 78% of Israelis are satisfied with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s functioning.
