JERUSALEM (VINnews) – IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir declared that Israel will aggressively pursue strikes against Hezbollah and will not relent in its goal of disarming the Iran-backed terror organization.

Speaking to mayors and leaders of local councils along Israel’s northern border, Zamir emphasized Israel’s determination amid the ongoing multi-front campaign that includes operations against Iran.

“We are crushing the Iranian terror regime and will seize every opportunity to deepen our achievements,” Zamir said. “Hezbollah chose to join the campaign alongside Iran and is paying the price. We will seize every opportunity to strike Hezbollah, deepen the achievement, and remove the threat. We will not give up on disarming Hezbollah.”

Zamir described the current situation as presenting “a great opportunity” for significant progress in altering the security reality along the northern front.

“Significant work is being done here, and we are preparing for a prolonged campaign,” he told the officials. “We will do everything to seize the opportunity and bring about a change in the security situation.”

The remarks come as Israel continues its military operations, including strikes in Lebanon targeting Hezbollah infrastructure, in parallel with broader efforts against Iran and its proxies. Zamir’s statements underscore the IDF’s commitment to eliminating the long-term threat posed by Hezbollah’s arsenal and presence near the border, a key concern for northern Israeli communities that have faced repeated rocket fire and other attacks in recent years.

Zamir has previously stressed that the campaign against Hezbollah will persist until the threat from Lebanon is fully removed, with no concessions on disarmament demands.
