Israeli Military Chief Says 'War Not Over, Will Push Deeper Into Lebanon If Needed'

Amid the de facto resumption of military clashes between the United States and Iran, Chief of the General Staff of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Eyal Zamir has stated that the military is ready to continue the war across all fronts.

Visiting operational areas in southern Lebanon yesterday, local time (July 28), Chief Zamir told officers that military operations across all fronts are not yet over and that they must prepare for the continuation of operations, adding that the military has prepared a wide range of scenarios to cope with any changes in the situation.

Regarding the situation in Lebanon specifically, he emphasized that if necessary, they will advance deeper and reach other areas.

Chief Zamir's remarks came as armed clashes between the U.S. and Iran showed signs of re-intensifying, and tensions mounted in Lebanon following a strike by a drone from the pro-Iranian militant group Hezbollah on IDF engineering equipment.
