Dahiya doctrine

Rare card · No. 25386

The Dahiya doctrine, also spelled Dahya or Dahieh, is an Israeli military strategy involving the large-scale destruction of civilian infrastructure, to pressure hostile governments. The doctrine was outlined by former Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of General Staff Gadi Eizenkot. Israel colonel Gabi Siboni wrote that Israel "should target economic interests and the centers of civilian power that support the organization", the immediate intent inferred as to harm the civilian population to such an extent that they turn on the militants, whose likelihood to sue for peace is thereby increased rather than fighting a protracted guerilla war.
