Netanyahu: Egyptian intel chief was in Israel before Oct. 7, he didn’t meet with me

IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir honored the fallen Commando Brigade soldiers at a memorial ceremony in Modi'in on Tuesday, vowing to implement the lessons learned from the October 7 attacks. Zamir praised the brigade's courage and dedication, describing it as the IDF's striking fist at the forefront of operations against Israel's enemies.

He emphasized the military's responsibility to expand its ranks, reinforce its service importance, and recognize combat soldiers as national heroes. Addressing the bereaved families, Zamir emphasized that their memory continues to guide their comrades in battle. Turning to the lessons of October 7, Zamir stressed the need to overhaul Israel's defense strategy, update the security doctrine, and actively implement the lessons learned.

He outlined a strategy centered on preemptively eliminating enemy capabilities before threats can materialize, while relentlessly pursuing those who seek to undermine Israel's existence.
