Ex-security adviser explains why we didn’t hit tunnels last year
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleYaakov Amidror, Netanyahu’s former national security adviser, responds to criticism of the government’s failure to tackle the attack tunnels in Gaza earlier.
“We could have attacked them [the tunnels] a year ago, but the price would have been missiles on Tel Aviv.”
There would have been less understanding inside Israel and internationally for such an operation, he tells Channel 2. The IDF had the intelligence on the tunnels a year ago. Accepting the Egyptian ceasefire offer last Tuesday gave Israel the time and international forbearance necessary for this operation.
