Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, Chief of Staff of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), informed Israel’s intelligence officers on Thursday that the nation had turned Iran’s “ring of fire” towards them — a reference to alleged years of Iranian preparation for assaults on Israel.“We are now turning the ‘ring of fire’ — the sword that they built for years to attack us — against them on their territory,” Zamir informed troops within the Intelligence Directorate.He went on to praised their efforts and described the present operations as transformative. “What we are doing here is historic — we are changing the face of the Middle East,” he mentioned, including that their success was being intently watched world wide.Zamir credited the staff with “extraordinary capabilities,” calling them the folks behind making the marketing campaign potential. “Every citizen of this country, and the whole world, is looking at you with admiration and respect. Everyone wants to learn how this happened, and I’m telling you, there are miracles, and those that make them happen are people, and in this case, those people are you.”The assertion adopted his go to to the IDF’s Targeting Center, the place officers mentioned main operations had just lately been carried out towards Iranian positions, reported Jerusalem Post. Meanwhile, Major General Shlomi Binder mentioned that the IDF struck Iran’s elite Quds Force closely on the primary night time of operations. He mentioned one covert headquarters within the mountains was destroyed, and hours later, one other strike focused the Chief of Staff of Khatam al-Anbiya — Iran’s foremost building and engineering arm linked to its army — who had moved to a close-by location in Tehran.“Two days ago, thanks to excellent work by the headquarters and command and control array, we struck one of the regime’s covert headquarters in the mountains. Some of the commanders managed to flee to a secondary location. Twelve hours later, we succeeded in striking the Chief of Staff of Khatam al-Anbiya, who had fled to the same secondary location in another mountain ridge in Tehran,” he mentioned. Binder mentioned about 30 commanders had been focused to date, with a number of senior names already made public. He burdened that the marketing campaign would proceed at full pace as a result of Israel wouldn’t tolerate the menace.“We need to deliver, increase the pace, and that’s exactly what we’re doing,” he mentioned. “Because this is the kind of threat that, I emphasise, the State of Israel cannot tolerate. Period. That’s the reason we launched this campaign, and that’s the reason you are working hard.”
