(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - The IDF General Staff on Monday conducted a full strategic review of security challenges facing Israel. Among the most important conclusions was that all of Israel's borders must have a built-in buffer zone. The military has also adopted a policy of preemptive offense to achieve most of its defensive needs.
