Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said Wednesday evening that the Gaza front is part of a multi-front campaign, and that the IDF will continue to pursue those responsible for the October 7 massacre, according to the statement.
Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir stated Wednesday evening, during a visit to the Southern Command, that the Gaza front is part of a multi-front campaign and that the IDF will continue to pursue those responsible for the October 7 massacre "sooner or later." The remarks, reported by multiple Israeli news outlets, come as the military maintains operations across several arenas.
The initial report from Army Radio, published at 19:43 Jerusalem, noted that Zamir's comments came after the halt of strikes in Gaza and the tightening of fire policy. Subsequently, reports from N12 and other sources added that Zamir described the IDF as systematically hitting Hamas, significantly weakening the group and changing the security picture in Gaza. The IDF Spokesperson later confirmed the statement.
As The Zioneer has reported, Zamir has previously stated that the campaign on all fronts is not yet concluded and that the IDF will deepen its achievements if needed (Jul 29). He has also described the current war as one of the longest and most complex in Israel's history, and stressed the need for the military to grow and strengthen after the lessons of October 7 (Jul 29). The IDF continues to pursue senior Hamas operatives involved in the October 7 attack, as evidenced by the elimination of Sakr Abu Karim, a Nukhba commander, as reported on June 7.
The Chief of Staff's statement is fully sourced, but the precise operational implications for the Gaza front remain to be seen as the security situation evolves.
