IDF Chief: We Will Keep You Safe During the Yomim Tovim


gantzIDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz visited the IDF Haifa naval base where he gave a special Rosh Hashanah address. The Chief of Staff was accompanied by the Commander in Chief of the Israel Navy Rear Admiral Ram Rothberg.

Gantz said: “In the past year we faced a great many security challenges and regional upheaval in each of the IDF’s operational sectors. In the past two weeks, deadly and tragic events in Syria have demonstrated all the more intensely the IDF’s need for a high state of readiness and preparedness. The level of readiness throughout the IDF is very high. I have seen it during tours that I conducted in all of the IDF – intelligence, air defense, ground formations, logistics, communications, the home front and, of course, the Navy.

“I want to take this opportunity to wish all the citizens of Israel a Shana Tova and that the coming holiday period will indeed be good and safe. We will enable it to be so. The people of Israel can and must continue to demonstrate public resilience through determination to enjoy the holidays.”
