On October 5, local time, Israeli Defense Army Chief of Staff Zamil said the Israeli military was ready to resume combat operations as the current suspension was due to diplomatic efforts to a ceasefire agreement.
Zamir said that at present, it is not a ceasefire, but a change in the combat situation. The Israeli political leadership is turning the achievements of military operations into political achievements. However, if political efforts fail, the Israeli army will return to battle.
According to the Israeli military, during the inspection of the Netsarim corridor, Zamil also temporarily organized troops for emergency exercises, simulating the scene of Hamas attacks on the Israeli military post.
