IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir announces a round of senior appointments in the military, which were all approved by Defense Minister Israel Katz.
During the last round of appointments, Katz clashed with Zamir for not consulting with him before the announcement. Katz eventually approved Zamir’s list, aside from two officers whose ties to the failures on October 7, 2023, are still being investigated.
The latest list includes four new brigadier generals and six new colonels, alongside a brigadier general and 26 colonels moving to new positions at the same rank.
Some of the notable roles include new commanders for the Golani Brigade, the Bahad 1 officers school, the School for Infantry Corps Professions and Squad Commanders, the Multi-Domain unit, the Hasmonean Brigade, the 401st Armored Brigade, and the 215th and 214th artillery regiments.
Another 25 senior officers are being sent to academic studies between roles.

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.
