Former member of the Knesset Ofer Shelah referred last night (Monday) to the security failure that led to the murderous massacre in the south of the country at the beginning of the month. Surprisingly, Shelah decided to defend Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in a certain way.
Iron Swords, the 24th day: IDF spokesman: "The released soldier provided useful information"
The former commander of the Revolutionary Guards fears Netanyahu: "will lead to escalation"
"This does not belong to Binyamin Netanyahu, nor to the warnings he received regarding the impact of the reform on the IDF. Let's be fair to ourselves, the military failure is beyond intelligence, it's deeper than that. And does not belong to Netanyahu," he claimed.
The organizational culture is that of an army that has lost its basic thing. When you plan the first line of defense as if the intelligence had fallen, and the second line as if the first line had fallen, the army lost this thing.
"The truth is that I didn't imagine," Shalah admitted about the sequence of events that morning, adding: "I ask myself what I didn't see and what I didn't ask. If you had asked me on the sixth of October if a scenario like today was possible, I would have answered no. When I think back on it , although we are all busy moving forward, this is something we will all have to think about where we were and what we did."
