IDF: Chief of the General Staff in the Security Zone in Syria: “We see what is happening and are monitoring the changes on the Syrian front; we will not allow hostile forces to establish themselves on our borders, and we will know how to use our operational capabilities precisely where and when needed” “We must prevent the development of terrorist threats, while also preventing the formation of a significant military threat on our borders” The Chief of the General Staff, LTG Eyal Zamir, visited the 210th Division today (Wednesday), together with the Commander of the Northern Command, MG Rafi Milo, the Commander of the 210th Division, BG Yair Peli, the Commander of the 474th Regional Brigade, COL Y., and additional commanders. During the visit, the Chief of the General Staff held an operational situational assessment and toured the Security Zone in southern Syria. As part of the tour, the Chief of the General Staff spoke with the reservist troops in the field and expressed his appreciation for their work and operational activity in the area. From the remarks of the Chief of the General Staff, LTG Eyal Zamir: “We are operating in a multi-front reality, in which the challenges are constantly changing and developing — the Syrian arena is one of them. We see what is happening and are monitoring the changes on the Syrian front — we must prepare for them accordingly. We will not allow hostile forces to establish themselves on our borders, and we will know how to use our operational capabilities precisely where and when needed. We must prevent the development of terrorist threats, while also preventing the formation of a significant military threat on our borders. In Syria as well, we have created a forward defense posture that serves as a buffer at the front of the communities, where our troops are operating. We are still in a multi-front war, alert and operating in all arenas — escalation can develop in any one of them, and we must remain in constant readiness for that. The division is doing excellent work. I want to express deep appreciation to the reservist troops who are here. I met a high-quality and professional reserve battalion here, reservists who have served hundreds of days since the beginning of the war. You were called up for a long period. I am aware of the heavy burden placed on your shoulders, appreciate your work, and am working extensively to ease the weight on you and on your families. The entire people of Israel are deeply indebted to you.” Attached are the following: Footage on the subject: https://bit.ly/4zrFxZY Photos on the subject: https://idfanc.activetrail.biz/14178
