IDF: In Next War, Ground Forces Will Rapidly Penetrate Enemy Territory to Stop Rocket Fire
(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - A senior IDF officer said Tuesday that in the next war, there will be no alternative but to deploy ground forces to carry out a rapid and deep penetration in order to conquer the enemy's territory, eliminate the enemy (rather than "neutralize" it), and destroy its weapons stores, especially rocket launchers, in order to decrease rocket fire on the home front. "The enemy will launch thousands of rockets daily at population centers. In such a multi-front war, we will draft the entirety of the ground forces," said the officer. "There is agreement among senior army staff that in the next war, missiles falling on population centers...will mandate the army command to rapidly deploy ground force maneuvers."
