The black swan's beak has turned against Gal Hirsch. Considered one of the most innovative and controversial generals while in uniform, nine years ago he wrote an essay on military theory for the armed forces magazine and applied mathematician Nissim Taleb's intuition to Israeli tactics: “When faced with an enemy operating among the civilian population, we must develop our deadly black swan, which operates in the fourth dimension, that of insecurity, lawlessness, and disorder, outside of accepted and predictable conceptual models."
The sudden event, which disrupts everything and leaves behind chaos, unfolded on Saturday at dawn with the occupation of southern Israel. Now Hirsch — who after leaving the military switched to the private-use force for those who offer more — will have to try to implement another concept developed by Taleb: antifragility, what shock and stress can do to us. stronger. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has entrusted him with the task of coordinating the team that will deal with the "missing and abducted".
The prime minister had wanted Hirsch as police chief as early as 2015, but the US FBI's allegation - although it came to nothing - that he had bribed a Georgian minister to get contracts for his security company, blew him away candidacy.
A former officer of the Shaldag - one of the most special units among the special forces - had to retire at the age of 42, destined to become chief of staff, a few months after the end of the second Lebanon war between July and August of 2006. The division commander responsible for that front, he was held partly responsible for the fiasco, starting with the killing of three soldiers and the kidnapping of two others on a border patrol.
Supporters of his strategic acumen have always defended him and considered him a soldier sacrificed by politicians to protect themselves. In 2019, he tried to enter politics with his party, two years later he declared that he had cancer: "I am ready to win this battle too", he was in the hospital for 12 months due to the wounds received in the ambush. He has encountered many black swans in his life, now he must face the darkest. / Corriere della Sera
