IDF Chief of Staff Vows Readiness for Threats from All Fronts

IDF Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, conducted a visit to the Northern Command and Division 91 on Wednesday, accompanied by senior officers including the Commander of the Northern Command Commander of the Ground Forces, Major General Nadav Lotan, and Commander of Division 91, Brigadier General Yuval Gaz. During the visit, Zamir held a situation assessment at Division 91, toured the Al-Khiyam area, observed a 'Robotic Combat Team' model presented by the forces, and engaged in discussions with brigade commanders in the division's sector.

Zamir emphasized Division 91's role as the "front line of defense for the residents of the North," stating its advancement of a forward defense concept. "The reality is constantly changing and evolving, but our commitment is to establish strong defense on the borders and ensure the safety of the residents of the North. We will not allow Hezbollah to establish terror infrastructure in the area. Any attempt by the enemy to establish itself, strengthen, or threaten the northern communities will be met immediately and powerfully," he declared.

The Chief of Staff characterized Hezbollah as an "Iranian proxy" whose actions have harmed Lebanon and its citizens. "The IDF is on alert for developments in nearby and distant arenas and is prepared to strike any enemy that tries to harm us, as we have done in the past," Zamir stated.

He commended Brigade 769 and Reconnaissance Battalion 869 for presenting the innovative 'Robotic Combat Team' model, which integrates robotic and technological means to enhance operational effectiveness and troop protection. Zamir instructed to accelerate the implementation of robotic capabilities in combat forces to gain a battlefield advantage. He also praised Division 91 and its forces for their achievements during the war, noting that Hezbollah has been significantly degraded and that further achievements can be made if necessary.
