🇮🇱 IDF CHIEF MARKS 1,000 DAYS OF WAR: Opening this morning's General Staff situational assessment, IDF Chief of the General Staff LTG Eyal Zamir said:
"Today we mark 1,000 days since the outbreak of the longest war in our history. A war that began with the failure and the worst disaster in the history of the State of Israel. From that disaster, we rose, recovered, and led a campaign that achieved unprecedented accomplishments in the state's history."
Referring to the 20th anniversary of the Second Lebanon War, Zamir said the milestone serves as an important opportunity for remembrance, learning, and drawing lessons.
⚠️ IRAN REMAINS THE PRIMARY FOCUS OF IDF PREPAREDNESS: Zamir said Iran continues to be the central focus of Israel's military preparedness.
He said the IDF is currently in an interim period across all theaters of combat, with every arena remaining active at varying levels of intensity while shaping operations continue. He emphasized that the theaters are interconnected and that every action in one arena may affect another.
The IDF Chief said forces must remain vigilant and prepared for rapid escalation and an immediate return to combat in order to deepen operational achievements and secure victory.
Alongside maintaining readiness and continuing to thwart threats, he said the coming period should also be used to reduce operational wear, care for personnel, and improve operational readiness.
🪖 SOLDIERS ARE ISRAEL'S MOST IMPORTANT RESOURCE: Zamir credited the achievements of the multi-front campaign to the determination and sacrifice of Israel's defenders.
He said combat soldiers, supported by all the systems that sustain the IDF, together with commanders serving in compulsory service, the career military, and the reserves, are the State of Israel's most important resource.
Zamir said they should remain first in the national order of priorities, receiving the state's appreciation through its decisions and allocation of resources while ensuring the well-being of the soldiers, their families, and their future.
