In a missive to soldiers, the chief of the IDF Military Intelligence Directorate, Maj. Gen. Shlomi Binder, says that “with the completion of the operation [in Iran], Israel stands before a better security reality, but no less complex.”
“Failure and success took place within the same organization; this requires all of the Intelligence Directorate to exercise genuine humility,” he adds.
