במקור נכתב על ידי zragon13 Boogie said that with the Gaza withdrawal being seen as a victory for terrorism, he was not surprised by an escalation soon breaking out with the Hezbollah and that he ordered the development of new plans and tactics to prepare the army for it. He said that since there are never enough resources to train the forces for all possible scenarios, you have to choose the most likely one to focus on. After mostly subduing the Intifada (in the West Bank), in 2005 he thought that the most likely site of a future conflict would in the North with Lebanon (and not Syria). That's why in his last month in command he recommended that a new intelligence assessment be made of the threat from Lebanon. He said that certain units began to be trained for fighting the Hezbollah already in 2005. and that that these tactics should have worked well had they been followed. He claims that he warned that forces should not use houses for cover (he even remind this to his nephew who fought and was later wounded in the war). Interestingly, he says that in his plans, tanks would not have been used at all.

As the commander of the IDF until only a year before the war began, Boogie obviously had a major influence on the army's prepardness in 2006. So do you think that Boogie's claims to have properly prepared the IDF for a possible war against the Hizbbolla and lay the blame on the top leadership's bad decisions valid?
