IDF chief says terror to continue ‘for many years to come’

IDF chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot says Israel “will continue to struggle against terror for many years to come, it’s a growing phenomenon,” the Ynet news website reports.

The IDF chief says the 1976 hostage rescue operation in Entebbe, Uganda, was successful largely due to the “trust” and coordination between the military and government at that time.
