MK Avi Dichter (Kadima), formerly the head of the Israel Security Agency, said Friday that investigations should be held to examine why the ISA’s warning about a terror attack in southern Israel had not been properly addressed.
Dichter said in an interview on Voice of Israel Radio that a warning of an attack of this magnitude requires different preparation. He added that Israel has fallen asleep a bit in recent years because the army concentrated on arresting infiltrators from Africa rather than on terror.
Dichter said that Israel must do three things in the wake of Thursday’s terror attack: assign responsibility to Egypt to stop attacks coming out of its territory, impose liability on Abbas for making peace with Hamas, and warn Hamas there’s a price for the fact that it controls Gaza by destroying its military infrastructure.
