IDF Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir has called for the Israeli military to maintain a high level of readiness for rapid changes and unexpected threats on all fronts. During a visit to the border with Jordan, Zamir, accompanied by senior officers, inspected a section of the border under the responsibility of the new 96th Regional Division "Gilad."
Zamir emphasized the need for troops to be constantly prepared for unforeseen events, stating, "Along with the need to receive timely intelligence warnings, troops must constantly maintain readiness for rapid changes and surprises. At each sector, a high level of vigilance must be maintained, threats must be anticipated, and the protection of the borders and the civilian population must be ensured."
