"Territorial defense needs to return and prevail firmly"

Brigadier General (Res.) Gal Hirsch: “Our first line of defense is intelligence, deterrence, special operations, offensive action. But at the defensive line - the territorial defense doctrine from Ben-Gurion's days needs to return and prevail firmly… We need to know that there are no more wars like the Six-Day War, and no more 60-second clips. We are in a war effort. This is a tough campaign, it will last a long time, we need to break down the armies of terror”
