Military chief Herzi Halevi has appointed Brig. Gen. Guy Markizeno as Defense Minister Yoav Gallant’s new military secretary, the Israel Defense Forces says.

The IDF says Gallant has approved Halevi’s appointment of Markizeno.

Markizeno, who currently serves as the chief of staff at the IDF Northern Command, will be replacing Brig. Gen. Yaki Dolf.

Dolf is set to command the IDF’s West Bank division.

The IDF has yet to set an exact date for the handover.
