Operational Doctrine

Vach has criticized the doctrine of defensive self-fortification saying that walls seem to project strength but actually project fear.

Personal life

Vach is the son of Shalom and Liat Vach and has ten brothers. He lives in Meirav, a religious kibbutz in northern Israel. His brother, Golan Vach, also serves as a Colonel in the IDF reserves, and was involved in the beheaded babies hoax. Golan was later injured by a tunnel collapse in the Netzarim Corridor while he headed "a small dubious unit", under his brothers command, destroying civilian buildings in Gaza..
Their younger brother Elishev Wach, a captain in the IDF reserves, led protests outside Defense Minister Yoav Galant's house to promote greater intensity and "total war", after Golan was trapped in the tunnel collapse.
