The IDF says that in the months preceding the operation, “close and joint planning was conducted” between the IDF and the American military, “which enabled the execution of the broad strike with maximum synchronization and coordination between the armies,” APA reports, citing The Times of Israel.
“The IDF, across all its branches, undertook a meticulous and long-term preparation process for the operation, both in defensive arrays and in various attack plans,” the military says.
IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir is currently holding an assessment with top commanders, and troops are on high alert for “for attacks across all fronts and against any adversary,” the army says.
The IDF says that the operation “will continue as long as necessary.”
