Every Oct. 7 terrorist will be 'brought to justice' says IDF Chief of Staff

Chief of General Staff, Eyal Zamir, has declared that every individual responsible for the October 7 massacre will face justice, according to an operational assessment in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are implementing their defined security strategy, extending their protection to all of Israel’s borders. Zamir praised the IDF’s Southern Command for their persistent offensive approach in the Gaza area, which has successfully targeted and eliminated Nukhba and other October 7 terrorists.

The pursuit of all those involved in the massacre is an ongoing mission, according to Zamir, who expressed gratitude for the command's achievements. He emphasized the importance of maintaining a proactive approach to remove threats and safeguard communities. On August 5, 2026, Zamir recalled the ongoing impact of the October 7 massacre, with images of the victims constantly before their minds.

The IDF’s strikes in the Gaza Strip have significantly weakened Hamas and changed the security landscape. However, the Gaza front is part of a broader multi-front effort, with recent operations in southern Lebanon displaying the same spirit of initiative and determination. Zamir stressed that the IDF will continue to implement their principle of removing threats and protecting residents, ensuring that no new border threats emerge like the one experienced during the October 7 massacre.
