JERUSALEM, May 13 (Xinhua) -- Israel's military chief Eyal Zamir said Wednesday that the country's multi-front military campaign across the Middle East, including Iran, Lebanon, Gaza, and the occupied West Bank, "is not over."

The military is "prepared to resume fighting if required" and remains on constant alert "in defense and attack, from Judea and Samaria to Tehran," Zamir said during a visit to the occupied West Bank.

Speaking about Lebanon, a day after the military said Israeli troops had crossed the Litani River and established operational control in the area, Zamir said troops were continuing operations in Lebanon, including in the Litani River area.

He added that Israeli forces were also operating with "initiative and offensiveness" in the occupied West Bank and Gaza, where troops carry out daily attacks despite a ceasefire that took effect in October 2025.

Separately, the Lebanese Health Ministry said at least eight people, including two children, were killed in three Israeli airstrikes targeting cars along the Jiyeh-Saadiyat highway in southern Lebanon.

Meanwhile, the Israeli military said it had struck more than 40 Hezbollah infrastructure sites, including weapon storage facilities and military structures, across southern Lebanon over the past 24 hours.

The development came despite a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon that took effect at midnight between April 16 and 17, following weeks of intensified cross-border fighting linked to the wider regional conflict involving Iran.
