On August 29 local time, the chief of the general staff of the Israel Defense Forces said that the Israeli army continued to operate in the Middle East "to defeat existing and potential threats", including "major strikes" against strategic targets of the Houthis in Yemen.
He stressed that Israel would "continue to fight terrorism wherever it is" and that Israeli forces were working to retrieve the bodies of detainees killed by the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas). He described this as an ongoing effort and said "Israel will not rest and will not remain silent until all detainees are freed in any way possible." (Li Xiang, reporter for the main station)
