IDF chief: Israel’s enemies will face unprecedented firepower in next war
(Worthy News) – In the past few decades, Israel’s enemies have changed from guerilla cells to terrorist armies, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Aviv Kochavi said Thursday at a memorial ceremony in Zikhron Yaakov honoring fallen soldiers from the IDF’s Artillery Corps.
“The enemy is organized in brigades and platoons, armed with missiles, rockets, and advanced weaponry, and is operating from inside densely-populated urban areas, with a civilian population that it sees as living flak jackets,” Kochavi said.
“The changes in the enemy demand that the IDF make changes and adjust its forces and methods of warfare, so urban areas cannot shield the enemy. The firepower the enemy will encounter in the next war will be unprecedented, and a country that allows terrorism to entrench itself in its territory will be seen as responsible for it, and suffer the consequences,” Kochavi warned.
