IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said Thursday evening at the IAF Flight Course 192 graduation ceremony that the military is monitoring developments in Iran and Lebanon and is ready for action. 'Against anyone who tries to harm us, we will respond with force,' he stated.
The remarks came at the same ceremony where earlier Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz spoke, as The Zioneer reported. Netanyahu said the war is not over, and Katz warned that the IDF is ready for a third strike on Iran. The Chief of Staff had also addressed the ceremony earlier, stating that hundreds of aircraft were on standby for weeks and that the military is ready for immediate action.
The flight course, Course 192, conducted most of its training during the multi-front war, according to the IDF. The ceremony took place amid heightened tensions with Iran and Lebanon, with the IDF maintaining a high state of alert.
No specific operational changes or new directives were announced in the Chief of Staff's remarks, which appeared to reaffirm the military's posture.
