Defense Minister Israel Katz convened a security assessment Thursday evening with IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi and senior commanders, reiterating the military's high readiness posture. Katz said the IDF is prepared for any scenario in defense and offense and will act with full force against any threat, at any time needed.
This assessment follows a similar situation evaluation reported by The Zioneer at 19:59 Thursday, during which Katz also emphasized Israel's determination to protect its citizens. The latest statement adds a direct quote from Katz underscoring that the IDF is "ready and prepared for any scenario."
The remarks come amid ongoing regional tensions, with Katz and other officials repeatedly stressing in recent weeks that Israel will maintain its security zones in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza, and will respond forcefully to any Iranian or proxy aggression. The Defense Ministry said the assessment covered all fronts and operational readiness.
