Brig. Gen. Nadav Lotan has been appointed as the next commander of the IDF Ground Forces, the military says.
The appointment was made by IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi and approved by Defense Minister Israel Katz.
Lotan, who previously commanded the 162nd Division and Operations Directorate’s military doctrine, assessment and training department, will be promoted to the rank of major general upon entering the role.
Lotan is replacing Maj. Gen. Tamir Yadai, who announced his resignation from the position due to personal reasons in September.
Alongside the new Ground Forces chief, Halevi has approved several more senior appointments in the military.
The list includes 11 new brigadier generals and four new colonels, as well as six brigadier generals and 19 colonels who are moving to new positions at the same rank.
Among the new brigadier generals is a reservist officer who will be returning to the military to command the Military Intelligence Directorate’s Unit 8200.
