Speaking at the handover ceremony at the Northern Command, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir says “IDF operations in all sectors, and in the northern sector in particular, have created a new balance of power and have enabled Israel to currently ensure a stable and lasting security reality and the ability to properly prepare for future challenges.”
“The voice of the IDF is heard loudly and without interruption. This is a clear message that we are conveying to our people, and also to our enemies: the IDF is strong, proactive, attacks and destroys threats already in their early stages,” he says.
“This is a new reality that we are implementing not in words, but in actions,” Zamir adds.
