IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir has instructed the military to expand the ground offensive against Hamas to additional areas in the Gaza Strip, the military says.
Zamir today held an assessment in southern Gaza with the chief of the Southern Command, Maj. Gen. Yaniv Asor, chief of the Israeli Air Force, Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar, COGAT head, Maj. Gen. Ghassan Alian, and other commanders.
Additionally, the IDF says Zamir was instructed to establish additional aid distribution sites for the Palestinian civilian population.
“We are in the midst of a powerful and uncompromising campaign,” Zamir says to troops in Gaza, in remarks published by the IDF.
“Hamas is losing control. We eliminated the murderer Muhammad Sinwar, and to all other murderers of October 7, we convey a clear message: your day will come,” he says.

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.
