IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir held a situational assessment earlier today, outlining the military’s ongoing operations across the Middle East, the IDF says.
During the meeting, Zamir highlighted the IDF’s major strike yesterday against strategic targets of the Houthi terror regime in Yemen, reportedly killing senior Houthi officials.
“The Houthis operate as an additional terrorist branch of Iran, continue to attack Israel, and threaten regional and international stability. Our message is clear — there will be no tolerance,” he said.
He also addressed the recovery of the remains of two hostages killed by Hamas in Gaza earlier today — 55-year-old Ilan Weiss and another hostage whose identity has not yet been released — while noting that the Southern Command is intensifying its operations in Gaza City.
“Last night, based on precise intelligence, our forces acted to recover the bodies of hostages murdered by Hamas. This is an ongoing, principled effort that we will continue to pursue. We will not rest or remain silent until all our hostages are returned by any means possible,” Zamir added.
