The IDF published this morning (Wednesday) part of the fundamental change in the purpose and values of the Intelligence Directorate (AMAN). According to IDF sources, the mission of warning against war, hostile activity, threat, or development that could endanger the State of Israel and its citizens was placed at the top of the priority list and became the central responsibility of AMAN. Alongside this, the four leading values were defined: responsibility, professionalism, humility, and truth. In the past two years, the actual warning concept has been updated, existing warning models have been validated and new ones built, warning command centers at all levels and in all arenas have been strengthened, and advanced training programs have been developed in the training system. In addition, a multi-arena and multi-disciplinary AMAN warning command center was established to create a unified intelligence picture connected to the field. The AMAN move to the Negev project is presented as an engine of change and growth, a strategic, technological, operational, and human move. The establishment of a unified base will strengthen inter-unit intelligence sharing. The headline asks "Did they learn from the failures?", but the body does not detail specific failures or tangible lessons.
