Israel Prepares ‘Surprise War’

Major General Amir Eshel has warned that Israel should be prepared for a ‘surprise war’

“A surprise war can develop today in many forms. Isolated events can escalate very quickly and require that we are ready in hours to act in the full spectrum – and when I say the full spectrum, I mean activating the full capabilities of the Air Force. The Air Force will need to give 100 percent, in order that our operations will be very quick and powerful.”

His speech comes just a day after an exchange of fire between the IDF and the Syrian Army in the Golan Heights. Continuing he referred to the Russians supplying Assad with the S-300 air defense system. His warning suggested that such a move could unbalance the equation between the countries.

“The Assad regime invested a great deal in order to achieve the best air defense capabilities that it could buy. Systems such as these are not just an operative threat, they also give a sense of security that can cause countries to do things they would not otherwise do.The air defense system represents weaponry from a completely different generation, which does not resemble what has come in the past.” He added, however, that “there is no system which does not have a solution, the only question is, at what cost.”

Eshel stated that Syria was “changing before our eyes. If [the regime] should collapse tomorrow, we may very quickly find its large arsenal scattered and directed toward us.”
