Ex Israeli officers doubts power to hit Iran nuke sites JERUSALEM: Israel may lack the military means for successful pre-emptive strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities, its former top general said.
Asked in a television interview about Israeli leaders' vows to "take care" of the perceived threat, ex-general Dan Halutz, who stepped down as armed forces chief in 2007, said: "We are taking upon ourselves a task that is bigger than us."
"I think that the State of Israel should not take it upon itself to be the flag-bearer of the entire Western world in the face of the Iranian threat," Halutz, whose previous military post was as air force commander, told the channel.
"I'm not some passer-by. I've filled a few positions that give me a different level of information to the average person," he said without elaborating.
