IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir held an assessment and approved battle plans at the Southern Command today, the military says.

Zamir sat down with Southern Command chief Maj. Gen. Yaniv Asor to assess the ongoing fighting in Gaza and approve “operational plans… for the continuation of the campaign in the Gaza Strip.”

Zamir was also presented with the initial findings of a deadly building collapse in Khan Younis, in which four troops were killed, the army adds.
