IDF Chief Shifted Army's Focus from Anti-Terror Activities to Fighting a War
(Jerusalem Post) Yaakov Katz - IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi, now nearing the end of his term, will be remembered for rehabilitating the military following the Second Lebanon War in 2006. The problem, he stresses, was with the IDF thinking at the time - that it needed to prepare for limited warfare and not all-out war. "By preparing for conventional war, soldiers and commanders will know how to derive the skills they require for counter-terror operations," he said.
