Israeli energy minister calls for bombing Lebanese civilian infrastructure Eli Cohen, Israel's energy and infrastructure minister, has said the country should bomb civilian infrastructure in Lebanon. "In my opinion, we should not only strike Beirut's southern suburb, but also sites and infrastructure linked to the Lebanese state itself, and I have said this within the cabinet," Cohen said in an interview with Ynet. He is a member of Israel's political-security cabinet.
