IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir is convening a conference this morning with all of the military’s operational unit commanders ranked lieutenant colonel and above, as well as the top brass.
The IDF says the forum is convening for the first time since Zamir entered the role earlier this year, and comes “against the backdrop of the changing operational situation in the Gaza Strip, two years of fighting, and the process of strengthening the foundations and routines currently being carried out in the IDF.”
During the conference, Defense Minister Israel Katz will speak with the officers, and the commanders will also be presented with “operational and intelligence data and reviews regarding all combat arenas,” by the chiefs of the Operations Directorate, Research Division, Southern Command, and other top officers, the IDF says.
Additionally, a panel will be held with released hostages and bereaved families, the army adds.

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.
