The IDF must be prepared to begin large-scale operations to take control of areas across the Yellow Line, Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen Eyal Zamir said during a Sunday situation assessment in the Gaza Strip. Zamir followed the assessment with a visit to Rafah. “The IDF operates in a changing reality and is contending with challenges across various arenas," Zamir said. "We must be prepared for a rapid transition to a large-scale activity to establish operational control of areas in the Gaza Strip, if required."
"Our troops continue operating along the Yellow Line to clear the area and eliminate terrorist strongholds," Zamir went on, noting that the IDF will keep its directive until Hamas is disarmed and the Strip demilitarized.
