Israel Defense Forces
IDF Chief of the General Staff, Lt. Gen. Gadi Eisenkot speaking at the @IDCHerzliya conference on four years of IDF strategy.
Israel Defense Forces....On the withdrawal of American forces from Syria: This is a significant event, but it should not be overstated. For decades we dealt with [Syria] alone. The IDF operated independently throughout this period, including over the last few years with US and Russian forces present.
"The Russian presence in Syria created a new situation and was an influential factor in the way we operated. The way we prepared allowed us to operate for the sake of Israel's security interests."
"Its not hard to imagine what would have happened if hundreds of Hezbollah operatives had entered [Israel from Lebanon] through underground attack tunnels. We detected and prepared for this threat in secret.
