The Chief of Staff, Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, visited the Northern Command today (Monday), accompanied by the Commander of the Northern Command, Maj. Gen. Rafi Milo, and additional commanders.
As part of the visit, the Chief of Staff visited the forces in the field, held a situation assessment, approved plans for the continuation, and held a discussion with the commanders of the divisions operating in the Northern Command.
The Chief of Staff, Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, said: “Iran is the main arena, weakening the regime and its capabilities will weaken the entire radical axis and within it the terrorist organization Hezbollah. The campaign against Hezbollah is another central front.”
“Any harm to the military buildup capabilities of Iran and the Revolutionary Guards also harms Hezbollah’s armament and funding capabilities. The reverberation of the strike and the weakening of the radical regime in Iran is also felt in the campaign against Hezbollah.”
“In the last two weeks, we launched a focused ground operation in southern Lebanon with the aim of distancing the threat from the border and ensuring long-term security for the residents of the North.”
“The Northern Command is conducting a determined campaign against Hezbollah, in which over 400 terrorists have been eliminated to date, including senior figures in the organization. We are determined to deepen the operation until all our objectives are achieved. In parallel, we are strengthening the defense and reinforcing the Northern Command with additional forces. Hezbollah is currently in a war of survival for its very existence, it is paying a heavy price for its entry into the campaign – and the pressure on it will only increase.”
“In the past week, the forces in the Northern Command have been operating with determination and power – great appreciation for that. Now we must focus on removing the threats, strengthening the defense of the communities, and continuing to increase the damage to Hezbollah.”
