As the IDF chief of staff from 2015 to 2019, Gadi Eisenkot pursued strategies designed to minimize combat and avoided escalation, such as refusing a shoot-to-kill policy during the “knife intifada.” He also resisted pressure for full-scale war in the Gaza Strip in 2018 and carried out small military operations between conflicts in order to establish deterrence.
