Speaking to Border Police officers in the West Bank yesterday, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi says Israel is in a multi-front war, and that incidents on one front can impact others.
“We are more alert this month. Really be very vigilant, very careful, with very good security,” he says, referring to Ramadan.
“We are in a multi-front war, Lebanon, Syria, Judea and Samaria [West Bank], and Gaza, and more distant things,” Halevi says.
“Everyone, every soldier… has responsibility for all the arenas, because every incident that happens in one of the arenas really affects and can cause [developments] in other areas as well,” he adds.
