THE ANALYSIS OF DAHIYA DOCTRINE IN THE CONTEXT OF ISRAEL’S FURTHER SECURITY CLAIM
Abstract
This
study aims to understand, determine and explain the Dahiya Doctrine that was
adopted during the Lebanon War (2006), and that was applied as a deterrence
model. In this frame, it deals with Israel’s dissuasive expectation through the
doctrine which was based on harming military infrastructure of the
organizations and their civil elements and forcing them to change their
behaviors. This deterrence model which was created in Lebanon against Hezbollah
is questioned whether it can be applicable to Israel’s security policy or not
in the future. The study examines and explicates Israel’s Dahiya Doctrine
experience in the context of its further security claim and the threat imposed
by Hezbollah and Hamas. The analysis frame intends to reveal the Dahiya
doctrine, which is a result of Israeli purposes and applications in the field,
as a military behavior rather than a doctrine which stands on a concrete
theoretical/conceptual structure.
