IDF Chief vows no withdrawal from Lebanon Security Zone until long-term security ensured

IDF Chief of General Staff LTG Eyal Zamir visited southern Lebanon Wednesday, stating Israel will not withdraw from the Security Zone until long-term security is guaranteed. "We are prepared for any change in the situation and ready for a wide range of scenarios," Zamir said, adding that the IDF is clearing areas of terrorist infrastructure used by Hezbollah to threaten northern Israeli communities. He emphasized Israel maintains a forward defense posture wherever there is a direct threat to civilians, and if necessary, operations will deepen to reach additional areas. During the visit, Zamir met with troops from the Kfir Brigade, which entered Lebanon last week after extended combat in Gaza.
