[quote=Anonymous]Its been 50 years and Israel's tactics are the same...

In series of interviews conducted in 1976 with Moshe Dayan (which was later
 published in Yediot Ahronot after his death in 1981), he confessed that his
 greatest mistake was that, as a Minister of Defense in June 1967, he did not
 stick to his original opposition to storming the Golan Heights, and he described
 how the confrontation with the Syrian evolved to a war as the following:

"Never mind that [when asked that Syrians initiated the war from the
 Golan Heights]. After all, I know how at least 80 percent of the clashes there
 started. In my opinion, more than 80 percent, but let's talk about 80 percent.
 It went this way: We would send a tractor to plough someplace where it wasn't possible
 to do anything, in the demilitarized area, and knew in advance that the Syrians
 would start to shoot. If they didn't shoot, we would tell the tractor to advance
 farther, until in the end Syrians would get annoyed and shoot. And then we would
 use artillery and later the air force also, and that's how it was. I did that,
 and Laskov and Chara [Zvi Tsur, Rabin's predecessor as chief of staff] did that,
 Yitzhak did that, but it seems to me that the person who most enjoyed these
 games was Dado [David Elzar, OC Northern Command, 1964-69]."[/quote]
