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.
