Eisenkot says IDF should be ready for war with Islamic State
IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot says at the INSS that the threat from the Islamic State will sooner or later reach Israel.
“In Syria, the success of the terror group was halted. Their successes raise, in my opinion, the probability that we will see them turn their guns against us and against the Jordanians. Also because the quiet space today, the safe space, is between Israel and Jordan.”
Eisenkot says the IDF “should be ready for the outbreak of war at very short notice. It would be a mistake to turn all the IDF’s resources to fighting terrorism.”
