Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), stated that the country is ready to carry out a new and deeper attack against Iran, while continuing operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon
During a visit to a training exercise with other commanders, Zamir highlighted that the Defense Forces maintain full readiness to resume actions in Iran.
He referred to last weekend’s Iranian attacks and said that all of Israel’s defensive and offensive capabilities were on high alert.

According to the military leader, the coup already carried out was just a preparation for a much more significant and powerful attack.
“We are prepared to come back and deliver another severe and deep blow to Iran,” he said.
He guaranteed that Iran’s attempt to impose new rules and change reality will fail.
Zamir also spoke about Lebanon, saying that Israeli troops continue to operate in the advanced defense line in the south of the country.
They operate in several areas, dismantling terrorist infrastructure, including an important underground center in the Beaufort region used by Hezbollah as a rocket launch base and operations command.
The general reinforced that Israel will continue to deepen the damage to Hezbollah while protecting communities in the north of the country.
“The Defense Forces remain on high alert and will act decisively whenever they identify a threat to Israeli citizens,” he concluded.
Regarding the training he was visiting, Zamir recalled that, in a prolonged war on multiple fronts, commando courses are essential to maintain the high professional level, values “”and standards of the Defense Forces.
He praised the soldiers, who have already participated in combat on a scale unprecedented in Israel’s history, and encouraged them to lead with determination, defeat enemies and carry out their missions with excellence.
