A handover ceremony for the head of the IDF’s Military Intelligence Directorate is due to take place on Wednesday.
Maj. Gen. Shlomi Binder is replacing Maj. Gen. Aharon Haliva, who is quitting the IDF over his involvement in the failures that led to Hamas’s October 7 terror onslaught.
The ceremony was supposed to be held last month, but was postponed after the IDF strike in Beirut that killed Hezbollah military chief Fuad Shukr.
