Missing dimension: IDF special operations forces and strategy in the second Lebanon War / Petrelli, Niccolo   Journal Article
Petrelli, Niccolo Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract In the course of the 2006 Lebanon War the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) employed special operations forces (SOF) for raids against Hizb'allah's command and control structure. This article argues that a faulty conceptualization of the value of special operations and misguided expectations determined by the new IDF concept of operations impacted adversely on the employment of SOF for this kind of operations. Both these elements contributed in turn to substantially degrade SOF performance in the context of the war.
