Brig. Gen. Yaki Dolf has entered the role of head of the IDF’s West Bank division, replacing Brig. Gen. Avi Bluth, who held the position for more than two years.

The handover ceremony took place at the Judea and Samaria Division’s base in the northern West Bank, and was attended by the head of Central Command, Maj. Gen. Yehuda Fox.

Dolf, who previously served as military secretary to the defense minister, was reprimanded over the deaths of two soldiers in separate incidents in recent years.

Bluth will go on to head the IDF Command and Staff College.
