Former IDF intel chief and Zionist Camp defense minister hopeful Amos Yadlin expresses support for the government’s alleged decision to carry out an airstrike on Syrian soil last month.
“When an operational opportunity is created it rises from the bottom up, and as in any functional state the administration approves or doesn’t approve it. I don’t cast aspersions,” he says.
“I have no doubt that no consideration of elections was before [the IDF brass], only the security of Israel,” he says.
