After strikes in multiple countries, IDF chief says army will ‘sever the hands of all our enemies’

Speaking at a Navy officers’ graduation ceremony, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir says that the “long arm of the IDF will reach every arena and sever the hands of all our enemies in the Middle East.”

“In recent days, we have struck in several arenas simultaneously,” he says, referring to strikes in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and against Hamas in Qatar.

“In the Gaza Strip, we will continue to act with force until we bring back our hostages, both the living and the fallen; we will spare no effort, this is our moral duty and our ethical mission. We are reshaping the security reality and inflicting massive blows on Hamas to decisively defeat and collapse its rule,” he says.

“Soon we will mark two years since the IDF rose to its feet and has been proving day by day its determination and its strength. Our message is clear: the long arm of the IDF will reach every arena and sever the hands of all our enemies in the Middle East,” Zamir adds.
