“Israeli” General: Press Revealing “Israel’s” Weak Points, Egypt Turning into Strategic Problem
Local Editor
"Israeli" Major General (res.) Dan Harel warned Sunday that the public debate around the possible attack on the Iranian nuclear program is causing "direct damage" to "Israel's" security.
In an interview on Voice of "Israel", Harel slammed "Israeli" newspapers for pointing out in detail where the "Israeli" home front's vulnerable sites are located, as well as "Israel's" operational abilities.
"Israeli" press has featured reports on such dangerous spots as Haifa Chemical's huge ammonia storage tank, which could cause a very large number of casualties if directly hit by a missile, said the former Deputy Chief of Staff, who was Head of Southern Command during the 2005 Disengagement.
Harel said that the politics have invaded the field of security and warned that this could cause "Israel" "tremendous damage."
Regarding Egypt, Harel claimed that the hard core of terror in Sinai is made up of Al Qaeda and the Global Islamic Jihad, and this requires "Israel" to fully deploy along the border with Egypt. This deployment would have to include beefed up forces, hi-tech sensors and other means of intelligence gathering.
Egypt is turning into "a strategic problem," he said, adding that "It could take five years, but we can already see how the Muslim Brotherhood is tightening its grip on power, and it is clear that democracy in Egypt will be democracy from another world."
