IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir says the military has a “series of targets” ready to strike in Iran, should the war resume.
“Cooperation with the United States military and coordination continue at all times, and we are monitoring the situation,” he says during a visit to southern Lebanon, according to remarks published by the IDF.
“In Iran, we have a further series of targets ready for attack. We are on high alert to return to an intense and broad campaign that will allow us to deepen our achievements and further weaken the Iranian regime,” Zamir says.
He also tells troops stationed in the Khiam area that “all IDF capabilities are at your disposal, you have no limitation in the use of force for this purpose.”
Zamir says that since the start of the Iran war, over 2,000 Hezbollah operatives have been killed in Lebanon.
“We will seize every opportunity to deepen the blow to Hezbollah and its continued weakening,” he adds.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
