Gantz: A major attack against Gaza a matter of time
NAZARETH, (PIC)-- The Israeli army's chief of staff Benny Gantz said a new large-scale war against the Gaza Strip to strike the infrastructure of the Palestinian resistance factions is a matter of time.
Grantz made his remarks on Tuesday during a meeting of the Knesset committee on foreign affairs and security.
He added that an all-out war on Gaza should be this time well-planned and sudden to avoid new rounds of escalation and preserve the lives of Israeli soldiers.
The Israeli commander also slammed the Palestinian authority's attempts to gain recognition of an independent state and warned that violent marches could take place if such thing happened.
He noted that in the next war, Israel would need to shorten the duration of the fighting as far as possible through relying on quality intelligence information and rapid moves.
For his part, Shaul Mofaz, a Knesset member and the former Israeli chief of staff, said, during the same meeting, that Israel has been suffering from an intelligence crisis in the Gaza Strip since the past few years.
He pointed this fact should impose on both the Shin Bet and the military intelligence to reset their priorities.
