The former Navy commander warns: "He estimates that the Iranians took command of the incident"

Since the assassination of the three senior jihadists early yesterday morning, great tension has prevailed due to the uncertainty of the jihad's response, the threats of coordinated action in all sectors and the big question of whether Hamas will join the attack. In a conversation today (Wednesday) with Gadi Ness on his program on Radio North 104.5FM , the former commander of the Navy, Major General (Ret.) Eliezer "Cheney" Marom , referred to the noisy silence in anticipation of a response from the Gaza Strip to the "Protection and Arrow" operation.

At the beginning of the interview, Cheney said: "The Iranians have taken command of the event here. No more ping-pong of our rockets and attacks that last for several days, but a more organized and coordinated preparation of a response that I estimate will be in several arenas. It took the Iranians many years to establish around us the array of The missiles and terrorism, and they got a foothold in exchange for their large financial investment."

"I have no doubt there will be a reaction," Cheney clarified. "We don't need to get too excited, we have now seen the State of Israel act with overwhelming and precise power when it uses our technological, intelligence and operational superiority in an exceptional way, with personnel and excellent cooperation with the various bodies. This action left them quite shocked, it takes them A little time to recover. But if I understand correctly, yesterday there was a gathering in Damascus of the various bodies under the Iranians and they want to prepare a response that will be crushing. The State of Israel has built excellent offensive and defensive capabilities over the years. The Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah are arms of Iran, in the territories there are already Cells that swear to jihad and the Iranians."

"Therefore, there needs to be thinking in Israel as well, we need to end the inclusion policy, we cannot allow ourselves to sit and wait for them to act and in most cases, unfortunately, we did not react, we reacted in an inappropriate and overwhelming way," he claimed. "It's not that we broadcast weakness, it's very important in the Middle East to understand that everything is ultimately a battle of opinions and how we are perceived in the eyes of the other side."

At the end of the interview, he referred to the launch of the rockets from Lebanon on the Passover holiday and the claims of a lax response on the part of the State of Israel: "We did not respond to a great many activities that took place in Lebanon for all kinds of excuses. And we should have acted first of all and shown them that we are not afraid of the amount of missiles they have and that those who operate from Lebanon to harm innocent citizens in the State of Israel will also be harmed, this is the policy we need in the State of Israel. We need to change the equation."
