Israeli example (a la Gen. Y. Yadin — 1949)

To exploit the principles of war for our purpose and base ourselves upon (the) strategic indirect approach, so as to determine the issue of the fighting even before fighting has begun, it is necessary to achieve the three following aims:

1. to cut the enemy’s lines of communications, thus paralyzing his physical build-up;
2. to seal him off from his lines of retreat, thus undermining the enemy’s will and destroying his morale;
3. to hit his centers of administration and disrupt his communications, thus severing the link between his brain and limbs.
