The Shin Bet says the head of the security agency, Ronen Bar, and IDF Chief of Staff, Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, toured the agency’s special operations command room today.
The two were briefed by Shin Bet employees on the agency’s activities in the war, it says, including “the intelligence efforts to locate the hostages and missing people, and the joint activity with the IDF… in intelligence and operations.”
The agency releases heavily blurred photos showing Bar and Halevi at the Shin Bet special operations command room.
