Received a severe punishment: the officer who shelled a house in Bari got into trouble because of another incident
In the shadow of the storm of the command comment: this is the position that Netanyahu offered to Barak Hiram
“There was another operation, simple. There was a threat, an enemy, infrastructure that had to be destroyed, nothing special. Specifically, I can’t say exactly what, but there was above, there was below, there was enough. Above ground, below ground,” he said Bruckner.
In response to the claim that Hiram acted contrary to orders, he replied: “The question is what do you put the focus on. When we are at a stage where we have a tired, hungry, exhausted and confused enemy in front of us, and we have a game on the wind, the question is what do you put the focus on – on the fact that there is An enterprising, determined commander, that’s the kind you want, and it may be that he asked for permission, as a general I am not transparent to such processes, But I prefer commanders who after that we tell them ‘next time only with approval’, than those who say ‘did you wait for approval? why didn’t you initiate. This is the strain we need. The one who made something out of this event is not me, yesterday messages were orchestrated on all the channels, you know what a campaign is.”
“To come and shut up, that’s the system you live in, it created the event because there is no event. The focus is the matter of the spirit, if now we start messing with whether the world is speaking or not speaking, then what has always happened will happen – we’ll go back to being terribly slow, limp, sloppy. We are after seven in October, wake up, it doesn’t work like that anymore. We need to be a determined nation, an initiative. Let’s talk in this language, initiative, determination, cohesion, this is what should lead us now. We have only started the work, there is the North,” he added .
“Am I a Barak Hiram man? I’m a military officer in the reserves, very simple. What campaign? Am I a Barak Hiram man? How often does a military officer change in the army? What are you talking about? I am a military officer who is a Barak Hiram man? Are you claiming that as a Reserve Major Ish Barak Hiram? I am a citizen, that is what I am. Barry’s incident is a sad and painful incident, but it is an incident that happens in combat. The way to deal with it is not in the form of targeted elimination, the way to deal with it is like in anything – when it comes Time for the in-depth investigation, let’s deal with them. You can’t be dumbfounded and come and say that after yesterday at 9 o’clock several articles, and say ‘why are you reacting?’, we weren’t born yesterday. Both the listeners and I,” Bruckner finished his words.
About the campaign in the south – satisfied?
“Initiative, determination, attacks, in the spirit, absolutely. In the warrior class, the spirit is very, very strong. If they call us one more time, we will come. We really, really want to do these things.”
