Ex-IDF general hints at strike’s timing with elections
Former IDF Southern Command chief Yoav Galant tells Channel 2 on Sunday, shortly after the reported Israeli airstrike on Syria, that it’s not impossible to rule out connecting the timing of the attack to the elections campaign.
“Based on past events, you can learn that sometimes there’s timing that’s not unconnected to the elections,” he says, pointing to the Israeli assassination of Hamas strongman Ahmed Jabari a few months before the 2013 elections.
