IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said tonight that the military campaign is not over, with major operations still expected, and called on troops to be prepared. The statement follows his earlier remarks this evening that new plans are on the drawing board.
Tonight, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir issued a direct call for troops to be prepared for upcoming major operations, intensifying his earlier warnings. The statement follows a series of updates from the pilots' graduation ceremony at 18:39 Jerusalem, when The Zioneer reported that Zamir said the campaign against Iran is not over, new plans are underway, and hundreds of IAF planes are on standby for immediate takeoff.
At 18:39 Jerusalem, the thread began with Zamir stating that the military is closely monitoring Iran and Lebanon and is prepared for immediate action. Successive reports added that hundreds of aircraft and tens of thousands of personnel are on standby, and that the campaign is ongoing with major operations ahead. The source remained Zamir's own remarks, and the messages were consistent across all four versions published by The Zioneer.
The warnings fit a broader pattern of public readiness signals from the IDF leadership. As The Zioneer reported on July 2, Zamir told the General Staff that Iran remains the central focus of military preparedness. A senior IDF Operations Division official said on July 8 that the campaign is not over and the IDF is preparing surprises. Separately, a senior US official said on June 10 that the operation continues and additional strikes are planned. These statements, as The Zioneer has reported, indicate a sustained high state of alert following the June 9 strike on Iran.
The specific timing and nature of the anticipated major operations remain unstated. Zamir's latest call for readiness adds a new emphasis on troop preparedness, but the operational plans themselves have not been disclosed.
