#1 Haaretz 23 Oct 2001, Amnan Barzilai: "Reinventing warfare" Even before the terror attacks on the U.S., several thinkers considered the nature of future warfare and predicted it would change dramatically. On September 11, just hours before the terror attacks on the USA, Minister without Portfolio Dan Meridor addressed students of the National Security College. Tel Aviv. The topic of his lecture was the character of future warfare.
Meridor told his audience, most of whom were senior officers in the Israel Defense Forces, that given Israel's significant edge in conventional warfare, the Arabs have shifted to warfare at two levels.
The first level, which can be called supra-conventional, involves the development of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. The second
level, which can be called sub-conventional, expresses itself in non-conventional terrorism.
...for example, a terrorist incident can turn the entire oxygen system in a nation's hospitals haywire. In this instance, as well, the result would be a mass terrorist attack. The problem facing both Israel, in particular, and the West, in general, in the war against terrorism is
that it is impossible to pinpoint the precise source of the terror. No one has any clear idea whom to counter-attack and the nature of the
counter-attack." The conclusion Meridor offered was this: "Israel's defense echelons must reformulate their theory of combat in dealing with a threat in which planes, tanks and precision-guided weapons constitute an inadequate solution."
Sub-conventionally, Israel got lazy.
