| IDF general gives exclusive interview to Saudi paper | |
| 2016-11-29 | |
Army spokesperson Moti Almoz confirmed on Monday that the army believes Sunday’s clash between IDF troops and members of an Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... -affiliate in Syria was not part of a larger push by the Sunni terror group. The remark came in an interview with the London-based Elaph newspaper, an outlet owned by a businessman in Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , which has grown closer to Israel over mutual fears of Iranian hegemony in the region. As The Times of Israel reported Sunday, the prevailing theory is that the clash, which resulted in Israeli killing four members of the Khalid ibn al-Walid Army, formerly known as the Yarmouk Brigade, most likely did not represent a change in IS policy, though it could have been an attempt to test the IDF or score a public relations win. In response to the question whether he thought IS was planning a "new stage" in the Golan, Almoz answered: "I do not think so, and we do not see any change with IS or any other faction in Syria," he told the newspaper. However, today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday... he added, "The operation [was carried out] perhaps to examine our capabilities and our preparedness. It was no coincidence [it was carried out] Sunday morning, after the Sabbath, a weekly day of rest, in which we usually have a quiet day and a little routine military action." Almoz also discussed the Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", terrorist group, encouraging it to recall the three Gazoo campaigns in recent years, waged by Israel in an effort to stem rocket fire and tunneling, which have devastated large swaths of the territory. "During five years and three military operations, every hundred meters saw Israel’s military capability and what it might do next time. Is this what the other side wants?" Almoz told the Arabic language news outlet, apparently referring to the Hamas terrorist group. Almoz added that Tehran has not become more moderate or tame following the signing of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the so-called Iran nuclear deal. "Iran has not changed, not before the agreement on the nuclear program or after it. Its objective remains the same, which is to maintain a foothold in the region and keep the fire of terrorism burning," Almoz said. | |
