 IAF, ARMY SETS DIFFERENT PRIORITIES |
TEL AVIV [MENL] -- Israel's military has been divided over requirement
priorities.The Israel Air Force has deemed the Palestinian Authority, particularly
the ruling Hamas movement, the key threat. The army, however, has shifted
its prime focus from the Palestinians to Hizbullah and Syria."It's not a disagreement, rather each service is responding to its
strengths and weaknesses," a military source said.On Tuesday, Israel Air Force commander Maj. Gen. Eliezer Shkeidy listed
Hamas as the priority of his service. Following Hamas was Hizbullah, Syria,
Iran and "global jihad," a reference to Al Qaida."All of these issues are weighty and critical," Shkeidy told an air
force conference.
