In a surprise move, the head of the Israel Police’s operations division, Deputy Commissioner Sigal Bar Zvi, says she will step down at the start of next year following a 36-year service in security bodies.

Bar Zvi, 54, the most senior woman in police, has served in the force since 1991 following her IDF service. She has served in many roles, including being the first woman in various commanding positions.
