The operational activities of the IDF’s 7th Armored Brigade continue to achieve significant results, uncovering vast troves of Hezbollah weaponry in southern Lebanon as the brigade defends the North and helps maximize Israel’s leverage in ceasefire negotiations, the brigade’s commander, Colonel Elad Zuri said in a recent interview.

Over the past year and two months, the brigade has added another impressive chapter to its legacy as the IDF's first armored brigade. Since October 7, they have not stopped for a moment, participating in battles in Gaza and, for the past two months, engaging in three rounds of fighting in Lebanon. 

"Our home is the State of Israel, and it must be defended both in the south and in the north," said Zuri.
