IDF Chief of Staff Zamir: '10 Red Flags Before the IDF Collapses' — Forces Stretched Across Five Fronts

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir warned the security cabinet of critical manpower shortages: 'I am raising 10 red flags before the IDF collapses into itself.' The IDF was simultaneously engaged across the Iran front, Lebanon (Hezbollah), Syria, West Bank, and Gaza. Zamir disclosed that Lebanon invasion forces had been diverted to the West Bank to contain the surge in organized settler violence — characterizing the attacks against Palestinians as 'morally and ethically unacceptable' and a threat to military cohesion. The warning underscored the unsustainability of operating across five simultaneous fronts while managing internal settler violence.
