(Worthy News) – The Israeli military sees its Ground Forces — tanks, infantry, combat engineering and artillery — as in desperate need for a makeover if it is to be prepared for the types of battles it is likely to encounter in future wars.

Long gone are the days of the lone tank platoon or paratroopers company conquering a hilltop from an enemy military. The Israel Defense Forces’ next war, be it in the Gaza Strip, inside southern Lebanon or elsewhere in the Middle East, will overwhelmingly take place inside urban areas — if not in densely populated cities then at least in developed towns — and it will be against terror groups and individual cells, operating autonomously and independently from one another within a civilian population.

In the military’s view, conquering a capital or destroying a command center isn’t going to cut it anymore. It needs to be able to conduct a large number of operations simultaneously in order to rapidly and effectively find and destroy an enemy’s capabilities in order to end the war fast, before large numbers of rockets and missiles have been fired at Israeli civilians and critical infrastructure.
