IDF Chief-of-Staff Gadi Eisenkot said at a ceremony establishing the Commando Brigade that “There does not need to be intelligence of broad strategies in order to understand the sensitivity of the period we are in.”
“The threats that Israel has been coping with these past few months… from Lebanon, from ISIS, the terror wave in Judea and Samaria, and the threats from the south require more than ever to use the abilities of the new brigade.”
