IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir held an assessment with senior officers following the Iranian ballistic missile impacts in the southern cities of Dimona and Arad this evening, and approved upcoming strikes tonight “across all fronts.”
The assessment, according to the IDF, was attended by Operations Directorate chief Maj. Gen. Itzik Cohen, Israeli Air Force chief Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar, Intelligence Directorate chief Maj. Gen. Shlomi Binder, and Home Front Command chief Maj. Gen. Shai Klapper.
The military says Zamir instructed the officers to “continue investigating the incidents and draw lessons from them.”
