Maj.-Gen. Turgeman appears to be quite pragmatic. I wish him and his newly-appointed colleagues every success in protecting us here in the south.

keep releasing statements, you would have thought there was a risk that their budget was about to be cut. Tanks are obsolete, the days when we would fight enourmous tank battles in the Sinai are over. Why are we maintaining huge numbers of the things when the enemy has ten anti tank missiles per Israeli tank? It is time to reconfigure the Israeli army to face the challenges of the 21st century, it appears the top echelons of the military are still wanting to configure a military that last won a major victory in 1976.

still needed to clean up what's left after a real good bombing.the air is still the best and safest route,

Better that they recognise and prepare for the new threats than be complacent.
