Hamas has suffered a serious defeat, but has not yet been defeated. The mission is not yet complete, says the Lieutenant General during Wednesday's inauguration ceremony.
Zamir succeeds Herzi Halevi as chief of Israel's military (IDF).
The task I receive today is clear: Lead IDF to victory, says Zamir.
Halevi resigned in January, citing the military's failure during the terrorist-stamped Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, which became the starting point for the war in Gaza.
A tremendous responsibility rests on your shoulders. The outcome of the war will be of great importance for generations to come, says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Zamir at the ceremony.
