Israeli army chief Eyal Zamir said the military will pursue "proactive" operations in Gaza to eliminate threats and defend Israeli communities, according to Middle East Eye. His statement came as a peace plan remained under discussion, suggesting the army intends to maintain its operational scope regardless of diplomatic developments.
The remarks reveal tension between military and political spheres over the conflict's direction. Zamir's insistence on continued operations—framed as necessary to protect Israeli territory and civilians—indicates the military leadership views its mandate as separate from ongoing peace negotiations. The army chief did not specify which operations would continue or under what timeline.
