BRUSSELS, Nov. 13 (UPI) -- Israel's chief of general staff announced plans to offer the Israeli Defense Forces' assistance to dozens of militaries engaged in the war on terror.
Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi, speaking at the annual NATO chief of staff conference in Brussels Tuesday, said that Israel remains strong after its recent war with Lebanon despite what critics say and that Israel has learned useful strategy information from the conflict, the Jerusalem Post reported.
"The global challenges today require a global solution," Ashkenazi said in a statement. "My aspiration is to offer to share with you the lessons our military has learned from dealing with its security challenges, some of which you too face today."
Ashkenazi says the lessons of the 2006 war have been carefully studied.
"Looking back, I am convinced that we made important achievements in the Second Lebanon War concerning the security of the State of Israel," Ashkenazi said. "At the same time, it is possible that these achievements and possibly better ones could have been obtained quicker and at a lower price."
