IDF chief convening General Staff to evaluate military’s operational readiness

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir is convening a General Staff assessment today to evaluate the military’s operational readiness amid ongoing fighting on multiple fronts.

The meeting — the second in a series — is part of a broader process to shape a multiyear plan for the army while maintaining combat operations. The assessment is being led by the General Staff Forum, with the participation of an expanded commanders’ forum, including division commanders, Ground Forces chiefs and officers from all army branches.

The evaluation follows a surprise military drill yesterday that simulated a multifront attack on Israel, with a focus on a ground invasion from the Jordanian border.

Zamir’s initiative aims to return the IDF to its core principles and planning foundations, ensuring preparedness for evolving challenges across all arenas, the military says.
