Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir has been conducting military tours to assess and refine security strategies across multiple regional fronts. In southern Syria, Zamir inspected a “forward defensive zone” established to act as a buffer for border towns, asserting that Israel will not permit “hostile forces” to station themselves near its borders.

Expanding on this multi-front approach, Zamir outlined a strategy to prevent adversaries in Gaza and Lebanon from rebuilding their capabilities. He stated the military will continue to operate offensively to dismantle armed infrastructure before threats emerge. Additionally, military leadership has expressed concern regarding the West Bank, warning that an increase in settler nationalist crimes could act as a “match that could ignite everything in a moment.”
