Yaki Dolf, the former commander of the West Bank division, is promoted to the rank of major general ahead of entering the role of chief of the Northern Corps.
A ceremony is held at the IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv, attended by Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, Defense Minister Israel Katz, and Dolf’s family.
The Northern Corps is a unit only activated in wartime to operate troops on a tactical level, while freeing the regional command to engage in planning and strategy.
Dolf will be replacing Maj. Gen. Dan Goldfus, who will go to head the Depth Corps, a shadowy multidisciplinary unit responsible for military operations beyond Israel’s borders, especially within the so-called “second circle,” meaning Iran’s proxies in Yemen, Iraq, and other areas not directly on Israel’s borders.
Dolf was reprimanded over the deaths of two soldiers in separate incidents in 2019.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
