IDF Unveils Multi-Year Plan for Defending Israel
(Times of Israel) Judah Ari Gross - IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Aviv Kochavi on Wednesday unveiled his multi-year plan for defending the Jewish state. The plan will see huge investments in developing the IDF's arsenals, including increasing its fleet of mid-sized drones, obtaining large numbers of precision-guided missiles from the U.S., and purchasing additional air defense batteries. The military will also focus its training exercises more heavily on urban combat. The IDF's guiding principle in developing the plan was that a future war must be won as quickly as possible, requiring the military to have at the ready a concrete list of targets, the weapons needed to hit them, and the ability to do so rapidly.
