IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi flew to Britain yesterday for a number of hours to meet with military chiefs from a number of nations.
Halevi flew to the United Kingdom in the afternoon and returned shortly after midnight.
The Yisrael Hayom outlet, which first reported the trip, notes that Halevi’s visit came against the background of the International Criminal Court arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant, as well as the expected truce between Israel and Hezbollah.
The outlet highlights that it is “unusual” for the military chief to travel abroad during wartime.
