Amid Gaza tensions, IDF postpones Southern Command handover ceremony
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIn light of the ongoing tensions with Gaza, the military decided to postpone a planned ceremony for Maj. Gen. Herzl Halevi to take over as head of the IDF Southern Command from Maj. Gen. Eyal Zamir.
The ceremony was due to take place on Sunday, but it has been pushed back to Wednesday, the army says.
Halevi comes to his new position after serving as head of Military Intelligence.
Zamir will end his tenure as head of the Southern Command after nearly three years in the position.
