Reserve Major General Tamir Hayman, a former head of Military Intelligence, said Thursday: "It would have been better not to start this war at all, had we known it would end this way." His remark, reported by Moriah Asraf and Doron Kadosh (N13 / Army Radio), adds a prominent military voice to the growing internal debate over the campaign's outcome.
This bulletin is an exact match for an earlier candidate. Reserve Major General Tamir Hayman, former head of Military Intelligence, told Army Radio (via Moriah Asraf and Doron Kadosh, N13) on Thursday: "It would have been better not to start this war at all, had we known it would end this way." The comment echoes recent internal debate about the strategic dividends of the campaign versus its political and military toll. As The Zioneer reported earlier Thursday (11:44), Hayman's statement adds a prominent military voice to criticism of the emerging agreement. A senior Israeli official told i24NEWS earlier this week that, knowing the war's political aftermath, it may not have been worth launching — a sentiment Hayman now reinforces on the record.
