Israel’s MC admits failures in Lebanon fighting
By: Ahmed Hammadi
HELD JERUSALEM: For the first time Israeli military chief
admitted publicly there were failings in the army’s
performance during its 34-day attack on Lebanon.
Lt Gen Dan Halutz in a letter to Israeli troops wrote: “The
fighting uncovered shortcomings in various areas — logistical,
operational and command. We are committed to a thorough,
honest, rapid and complete investigation of all the
shortcomings and successes."
"Questions will be answered professionally, and everyone will
be investigated — from me down to the last soldier,” he added.
In addition to the pressure he’s facing over his handling of
the offensive in Lebanon, Gen Halutz has faced criticism for
selling his entire stock market portfolio hours before the
outbreak of fighting. He has denied any wrongdoing.
While Gen Halutz admitted military failures, the head of the
Shin Bet security service called the war “a fiasco" in his
first public statement on the conflict.
