IDF Chief Vows to Hunt Down Oct. 7 Terrorists

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir declared during a visit to Gaza that Israel will continue hunting down terrorists responsible for the October 7 massacre, vowing that anyone involved "will live under pursuit until they are eliminated." According to Zamir, the IDF will maintain an offensive posture in both Gaza and Lebanon to stop enemy forces from rebuilding military capabilities or reconstituting terror infrastructure. The remarks underscore Israel's continued resolve more than a year after the deadly Hamas-led attack that killed hundreds and triggered the ongoing war. Zamir's comments signal that Israeli operations against Hamas remnants and other hostile actors will persist even as broader ceasefire and reconstruction talks continue, with military leadership stressing that perpetrators of the October 7 atrocities will not find safe haven.
