During a visit to Northern Command, IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir<\/a> said that the IDF’s recent airstrike in Iran was a precursor to a “much more significant and heavy” operation in comments to the press on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

He emphasized that the IDF is prepared to strike Iran again if it attacks Israel, while continuing to dismantle terror infrastructure in southern Lebanon, including a base in the Buphor area.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a command training exercise in northern Israel<\/a>, he underscored the IDF\u2019s readiness for ongoing operations.<\/p>\n

“The IDF maintained and continues to maintain alertness and immediate readiness to return to fighting in Iran<\/a>,” he said.<\/p>\n

“All our defense and attack arrays were alert and ready. We intercepted the threats fired at us and struck Iran quickly and powerfully. We are ready to strike Iran again with another hard and deep blow. Iran\u2019s attempt to set equations and change reality will fail.”<\/p>\n

Addressing the northern front, Zamir said the military will continue operations to target Hezbollah<\/a> and protect communities near the border.<\/p>\n

“IDF forces continue to fight and attack along the front defense line in southern Lebanon, destroying terror infrastructure, including significant underground facilities in the Buphor area, which Hezbollah used as a fire base and command center for combat management.”<\/p>\n

Concluding his remarks, the chief of staff highlighted the importance of leadership in warfare.<\/p>\n

“During a prolonged multi-theater war, command courses serve as a central anchor in strengthening the IDF\u2019s foundations and allow us to maintain the IDF as a professional army with norms, values, and high standards.<\/p>\n

“You have experienced unprecedented combat in IDF history and represent the IDF\u2019s significant command echelon. The leadership and professionalism you demonstrate will determine the IDF\u2019s ability to carry out its complex missions with excellence.”<\/p>\n

“Ahead of you lies the most important task: to lead soldiers, defeat our enemies in battle, while adhering to operational norms and IDF values.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"During a visit to Northern Command, IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir said that the IDF’s recent airstrike…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":484219,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[2464,86,1031,85,87,46,88,43],"class_list":["post-484218","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel","tag-eyal-zamir","tag-hezbollah","tag-idf","tag-il","tag-iran","tag-israel","tag-lebanon","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/484218","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=484218"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/484218\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/484219"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=484218"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=484218"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=484218"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
