The IDF’s top spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says the military will operate “anywhere in the Middle East” amid the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip and frequent clashes on the Lebanon border.

“We are always looking around us, in the entire Middle East,” Hagari says. “The IDF will operate anywhere in the Middle East to fulfill Israel’s security aims. We are highly prepared in all arenas.”
