Chief of Staff of the Occupation Army: The battle in Gaza is not over, and we are ready to act on all fronts

The Chief of Staff of the Occupation Army, Eyal Zamir, conducted an extensive field tour in the northern areas of the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, which included a comprehensive security assessment of the field conditions. Zamir was accompanied on this tour by an elite group of military leaders, including the commander of the Central Region, Avi Blot, the coordinator of government operations in the territories, Major General Avraham Halevi, in addition to the Military Advocate General, the head of the Civil Administration, and the commanders of the field brigades in the Samaria and Menashe regions.

During the tour, the Chief of Staff listened to detailed reports from the brigade commanders about the current operational situation in the West Bank, where he expressed his appreciation for what he described as the efforts of the battalions and soldiers in the field. Zamir stressed the importance of close cooperation between the various security agencies to ensure the implementation of military plans, noting that the army operates with a spirit of initiative and attack in all arenas where it is currently present.

Regarding the southern front, Zamir clearly affirmed that the war in the Gaza Strip has not yet ended, despite the decline in the intensity of operations in some areas. He explained that the occupation forces maintain the highest levels of readiness to resume intensive combat activity if necessary, noting that continuous offensive action aims to achieve pre-determined military objectives and prevent any future threats.

On the northern front, the Chief of Staff claimed that the army succeeded in creating a new security reality by continuing the fighting in southern Lebanon and the Litani region. He indicated that operations there focus on destroying infrastructure and thwarting the capabilities of militants, stressing that these movements come within a comprehensive strategy to remove threats from the northern borders and secure the return of settlers to their areas.

Zamir touched on the situation in the West Bank, considering that the region is witnessing a radical change led by the Central Command through intensified offensive and thwarting activities. He claimed that the current period is one of the lowest in terms of the volume of Palestinian operations in recent years, attributing this to what he described as continuous military initiatives and operations targeting refugee camps directly.

At the end of his tour, the Chief of Staff revealed important logistical and military movements, as the 'Nahal' Brigade was transferred from the intensive combat front in Lebanon to the West Bank to carry out new security tasks. He affirmed that this rapid transfer of forces reflects the army's ability to maneuver between different fronts, expressing his confidence that the brigade will achieve field accomplishments in the West Bank similar to what it achieved on other fronts.

The battle in the Gaza Strip is not over yet, and our army is on high alert to resume fighting, defensively and offensively, whenever the need arises.
