‘We Fight to Preserve our Existence’ Says Israel’s Top Soldier

Jerusalem, 13 June, 2025 (TPS-IL) — “We went on the offensive because the time has come, we have reached the point of no return,” said Israeli military Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir. “We must not wait for another time to act, we have no choice. History, both distant and recent, has taught us that in the face of ambitions to destroy us, we must not bow our heads, and from this we fight to preserve our existence. Freedom was given to those who are willing to fight for it.”

He added, “I warn, anyone who tries to challenge us will pay a heavy price. We go into battle together with one goal in mind – to bring a safer future to the State of Israel and its citizens. With faith, together and in joint effort, we will win.”
