IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir says “many thousands” of Iranian soldiers and commanders have been killed in Israeli strikes in Iran, warning that “no one is immune.”
“We are in a campaign that is deepening the damage to the Iranian regime and its foundations and pushing the threat further away over time. So far, we have eliminated many thousands of the regime’s soldiers and its commanders,” Zamir said to pilots during a visit to the Tel Nof Airbase yesterday, according to remarks now released by the military.
“I say from here as well to all our enemies: No one is immune. We will know how to reach anyone who tries to harm the citizens of the State of Israel,” he said.
Zamir said that the IDF will continue to “weaken the axis of terror, from the head in Tehran to its central arm in Beirut,” a reference to the Hezbollah terror group.
“It is paying the price for standing alongside Iran. We will not give up on disarming it; this campaign will help us accelerate this,” he said, referring to Hezbollah.
