The operation is of a “completely different scope” than the previous attack launched by Israel in June 2025, Israel’s chief of staff said.
“We are participating in an operation that is taking place on a completely different scale, more complex and complicated. I know the preparations have been short, but intense and incredibly thorough,” Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said in a video released by the military showing him with other generals in the command center.
