Chief of Staff: “We Eliminated Iran’s Military Leadership—Now We Strike Harder”

In a historic wartime address, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir confirmed that Israel is on Day 3 of Operation Rising Lion—a preemptive strike against Iran’s long-building existential threat. Zamir revealed the IDF has opened an air corridor to Tehran, enabling deep precision strikes. The opening wave, launched with surprise and deception, eliminated Iran’s senior military command. Israeli Air Force pilots are now hitting hundreds of targets across Iran while also intercepting missile launchers used in Iran’s retaliation. Zamir acknowledged Israeli civilian casualties and the loss of Reserve Sgt. Noam Shemesh in Gaza. “We are at war on multiple fronts,” Zamir said, pointing to simultaneous operations in Gaza and beyond. He emphasized the IDF’s technological edge and the scale of the mission: to permanently dismantle the Iranian threat. “Anyone who harms us—will pay.”
