Ex-IDF Military Intelligence Chief: Iran Strike "Is Not a War, This Is a One-Night Operation"
(Times of Israel) Haviv Rettig Gur - "We all share the same data, the same intelligence. We are also on the same page on the strategic goal to prevent Iran from being nuclear," the former head of IDF Military Intelligence Maj.-Gen. (ret.) Amos Yadlin told the AIPAC policy conference on Monday. Yadlin, who today heads the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University, said "time is running out in 2013." "We, the Israelis, come [to the issue] with the Holocaust. We are six million Israeli Jews listening to Ahmadinejad calling for Israel's destruction. You come with a different trauma, Iraq. You don't want another war, understandably." But, Yadlin added, "This is not a war, this is a one-night operation, and we should speak about it."
