IDF: The Chief of the General Staff during a situational assessment in the Northern Command: "We will not allow Hezbollah to establish terrorist infrastructure in the area. Any attempt by the enemy to entrench itself, build up its capabilities, or threaten northern communities will be met immediately and forcefully. The IDF remains alert to developments in near and distant arenas and is prepared to strike any enemy that attempts to harm us, as we have done in the past." "You presented the 'Combat Robotics Team' model for the first time. This model reinforces the principle that the IDF stands ahead of the civilians and embodies the innovative concept that robotic and technological means operate ahead of and alongside our troops. In doing so, you are increasing operational effectiveness and bolstering force protection." The Chief of the General Staff, LTG Eyal Zamir, visited the Northern Command and the 91st Division today (Wednesday), alongside the Commander of the Northern Command, MG Rafi Milo; the Commander of the Ground Forces, MG Nadav Lotan; the Commander of the 91st Division, BG Yuval Gaz; and additional senior commanders. During the visit, the Chief of the General Staff held a situational assessment at the 91st Division, toured the Khiam area, observed the 'Combat Robotics Team' model presented by the troops, and spoke with brigade commanders operating in the division’s sector. From the remarks of the Chief of the General Staff, LTG Eyal Zamir: "The 91st Division serves as the forward defense line for northern residents — the division is advancing a forward defense posture in front of the communities. The operational reality is constantly changing and evolving, but our commitment remains to establish robust border defenses and ensure the security of the residents of the north. We will not allow Hezbollah to establish terrorist infrastructure in the area. Any attempt by the enemy to entrench itself, build up its capabilities, or threaten northern communities will be met immediately and forcefully. Throughout the war, Hezbollah has proven once again that it is an Iranian proxy and not a 'Lebanese patriot.' Its actions have harmed the interests of the State of Lebanon and its citizens. The IDF remains alert to developments in near and distant arenas and is prepared to strike any enemy that attempts to harm us, as we have done in the past. To the 769th Brigade and the 869th Field Intelligence Battalion — you presented the 'Combat Robotics Team' model for the first time. This model reinforces the principle that the IDF stands ahead of civilians and embodies the innovative concept that robotic and technological means operate ahead of and alongside our troops. In doing so, you are increasing operational effectiveness and bolstering force protection. I have immense appreciation for this effort. This is a significant leap forward, and I am impressed by the close integration between the Northern Command and the Ground Forces. I instruct that we continue to accelerate the processes for integrating robotic capabilities into combat units, with the objective of generating operational superiority and an advantage on the battlefield. Throughout three years of fighting, the Northern Command has fought, struck Hezbollah, and degraded many of its capabilities. If required, we will know how to expand our achievements. Deep appreciation goes to the 91st Division and the troops operating in the area. The achievements you have led are a source of immense pride and will be etched in the legacy of the IDF for generations to come."
