During a visit to Northern Command, IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir said that the IDF's recent airstrike in Iran was a precursor to a "much more significant and heavy" operation in comments to the press on Tuesday.
He emphasized that the IDF is prepared to strike Iran again if it attacks Israel, while continuing to dismantle terror infrastructure in southern Lebanon, including a base in the Buphor area.
Speaking at a command training exercise in northern Israel, he underscored the IDF’s readiness for ongoing operations.
"The IDF maintained and continues to maintain alertness and immediate readiness to return to fighting in Iran," he said.
"All our defense and attack arrays were alert and ready. We intercepted the threats fired at us and struck Iran quickly and powerfully. We are ready to strike Iran again with another hard and deep blow. Iran’s attempt to set equations and change reality will fail."
