- Zamir addressed guests and described the 2003–2004 incident as a miracle, recalling the bullet-riddled car and offering a blessing to the groom.

- VINnews reported that Zamir’s appearance followed a tense day that included a reported assassination of Hezbollah’s chief of staff in Beirut’s Dahiyeh district, a claim not independently corroborated in the other pieces provided.
- VINnews also reported that earlier the same day he met senior officers and dismissed several over failures tied to the October 7 attacks, a development presented there without additional sourcing in these articles.
