Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir has described the ceasefire declared in Lebanon as “fragile” and ordered troops to maintain a high level of readiness for the resumption of military operations.

Axar.az reports, citing Times of Israel, he made the remarks during a visit to Israeli forces stationed in southern Lebanon.

"The ceasefire that has been declared is fragile, and we must remain at a high level of readiness for the renewal of combat operations, the thwarting of threats, and a rapid transition to offensive action if required. All IDF resources are allocated to this,” he said.
