The Chief of Staff during a military assessment at the Syrian border: "We need to conduct a situational assessment literally every few hours. Every event here sets a standard and changes going forward.
That is why we are following very closely with all the collection capabilities what is happening.
The main emphasis is to also see the Iranian exit, the Iranian interest, which for us is the first need, and the second thing is to see the local elements here who occupy the territory, what they are doing, how they behave, how they are deterred, and not confused by making a move in our direction.
If there is such confusion, there is an offensive response and behind it a very, very strong defensive response. To be prepared offensively and defensively.'
