IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi (also spelled 'Kochavi'):

"The state of deterrence that we have has increased in the face of all the countries that we face, as none of these countries have the intention to launch attacks against us and all their operations against us come in the context of responding to our attacks."
Kohavi: "For the past ten years, Hezbollah and Hamas have built expanding forces against Israel, ready for the day of an order to attack us."

- "All our enemies face a deep dilemma as a result of the economic conditions, the repercussions of the coronavirus pandemic, and the great disappointment that is sweeping their societies because of the way their leaders and heads of their organizations deal with their situation."

- "We are seeing a slowdown in the Iranian-Syrian establishment. But the establishment has not stopped and the activity against it will continue. The battle between wars will continue."
Kohavi: "The [occupation] army carried out a commando operation and it succeeded."

(What he means here is not in Israel, Lebanon or Syria. Something farther, in what they call the "second circle".)
Kochavi: In the face of the Shiite axis that extends from Iran through Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, a strong regional alliance has emerged, starting from Greece, Cyprus, Egypt, Jordan and the Arab Gulf states, where the State of Israel stands within this alliance.
Kohavi: "The IDF is making a great effort to increase its target bank [i.e. civilian targets]. The rate of target production in the IDF has increased significantly, in order to reach a decision on the day of action."

Kohavi continues by justifying how in the future war the IDF has the right to strike civilian assets and homes, and how bad the 5+1 Iran deal is for Israel.
Kohavi: "It is imperative to adapt international law to the way we should and are ennoscriptd to fight. Every fifth house in Lebanon is a missile depot. A rocket next to a house is a military target."
Kohavi warns Lebanese citizens: "As soon as a war begins, leave the places laden with missiles and rockets. The missile and rocket caches will be flooded with IDF strikes. Those who leave, great. Those who don't, already know today they live in a field of missiles and rockets."
In 2006 we bled 1000 civilian.

The IDF never cared about civilians, zionist Jews are blood thirsty. But this time, the rockets will find their way, and will bleed them as we bleed
