IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir visited southern Syria on Wednesday, a day after the Israeli Air Force carried out an operation in northern Syria. Zamir conducted a situational assessment and stated that Israel is closely monitoring the changes on the Syrian front.
"We see what is happening and follow the changes on the Syrian front — we must prepare accordingly," Zamir said. "We will not allow hostile forces to establish themselves on our borders and will know how to use our power precisely where and when needed."
The Chief of Staff also noted that Israel remains in a multi-front war, with potential for escalation on any front, requiring constant readiness. The visit underscores the IDF's focus on the Syrian theater amid ongoing operations in Gaza, Lebanon, and Judea and Samaria. As The Zioneer has previously reported, Zamir has conducted similar field assessments in Gaza and southern Lebanon in recent weeks, reflecting the military's posture of active deterrence across all fronts.
