IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir visited today (Tuesday) the Gaza Division headquarters ("Re'im" camp) and held a conversation with the female observation soldiers in the division.

In his remarks, Zamir cited the lessons of October 7: "We must not underestimate the enemy. Our enemies are cruel, and therefore we must be vigilant and listen to every sign."
