IDF: Chief of the General Staff to Northern Local Authority Heads: “IDF Troops Defend and Operate on the Front Line of the Communities, Along All Borders — in the Golan Heights and in Lebanon. We Will Seize Every Opportunity to Strike Hezbollah, Advance Achievements, and Remove the Threat. We Will Not Relinquish the Disarming of Hezbollah”
The Chief of the General Staff, LTG Eyal Zamir, conducted a situational assessment today (Friday) at the Northern Command together with members of the General Staff Forum. During the assessment, the Chief of the General Staff instructed the continued reinforcement and strengthening of the defense along the border.
Following the assessment, the Chief of the General Staff spoke with the heads of local authorities in the north. During the conversation, he presented the operational situational picture and emphasized the importance of the effort to deepen the line of control along the Lebanon border.
The Chief of the General Staff also stressed the IDF’s commitment to safeguarding the security of the residents and expressed his appreciation to the local authority heads and residents for the resilience, responsibility, and spirit they have demonstrated on the home front during this period.
From the remarks of the Chief of the General Staff, LTG Eyal Zamir:
“Hezbollah and the Iranian regime are one and the same — we will complete the collapse of the Iranian axis and continue striking the enemy.
We are striking the Iranian terrorist regime and will seize every opportunity to advance our achievements. Hezbollah chose to join the operation alongside Iran, and it is paying the price. We will seize every opportunity to strike Hezbollah, advance achievements, and remove the threat. We will not relinquish the disarming of Hezbollah.
IDF troops defend and operate on the front line of the communities, along all borders — in the Golan Heights and in Lebanon. In this way, we reinforce and strengthen the security of the northern communities along a forward line of defense.
Civil leadership is a critical component of national and security resilience and of the success of the operation. The patience and perseverance of the residents of the north are a significant part of the operation’s success.
This is a major opportunity. Significant work is being carried out here, and we are preparing for a prolonged operation. We will do everything to seize the opportunity and bring about a change in the security situation".

IDF: In the heart of Tehran: The IDF dismantled Ali Khamenei’s underground military bunker beneath the Iranian terror regime's leadership compound
A short while ago, approximately 50 Israeli Air Force fighter jets guided by precise IDF intelligence struck Ali Khamenei’s underground bunker in Tehran.
The underground military bunker, which was located beneath the regime's leadership compound in the center of Tehran, was intended to be used by the Supreme Leader of the Iranian regime as a secure emergency command center. Khamenei was eliminated before he could use the bunker during operation “Roaring Lion” but the compound continued to be used by senior Iranian regime officials.
The underground compound was created by the regime as a base for advancing military activities and its extremist ideologies against the State of Israel and the Western world.
It spanned multiple streets in the heart of Tehran and contained numerous entrances and meeting rooms for senior members of the Iranian terrorist regime.
The bunker was struck following a lengthy process of intelligence collection and research conducted by the IDF’s Intelligence Directorate.
The bunker was one of the Iranian leadership’s most important military command centers. Targeting the bunker further degrades the regime’s command and control capabilities.
