Israel army chief sees ‘historic opportunity’ to reshape region

Israeli army chief of staff Eyal Zamir visited southern Lebanon and said Israeli forces were continuing operations against Hezbollah.

In a statement shared on Telegram, Zamir claimed that “more than 2,000” Hezbollah members had been killed since the start of the operation in early March, adding that Israeli forces were continuing efforts to dismantle the group.

“We have a historic opportunity to change the regional reality in the multi-front operation. Cooperation and coordination with the United States military are ongoing, and we are monitoring the situation,” he said.

“In Iran, we have an additional series of targets ready to be struck. We are on high alert to return to a powerful and broad operation that will enable us to deepen our achievements and further weaken the Iranian regime.”
