IDF Chief of Staf Lt.-Gen. Gadi Eisenkot said, after learning of former Mossad chief Meir Dagan's death that Israel 'lost a man and a commander whose life was interwoven with the affairs of his time.' 'A brave warrior, a hero of Israel, whose overt and covert acts formed an extended achievement on behalf of the state's security and prosperity.' Eisenkot described Dagan as a 'friend and a comrade in arms whose figure will be sorely missed.'
