(Ha'aretz) Gili Cohen - IDF Military Intelligence chief Maj.-Gen. Herzl Halevi said Thursday that Israel is "dealing with threats near and far," following reports of an Israeli strike on a chemical arms plant in in Syria. He added: "The threats to Israel are from armed militant groups, most of them aided and funded by Iran. They are grave threats, but not existential ones." According to Halevi, "Our enemies know well the combination between precise intelligence and abilities. Iran, which wishes to establish a foothold on our border, is flooding the area with lethal arms and an ideology which is no less lethal. The IDF is working to keep the war back, and prepare for it."
