Maj. Gen. (res.) Eyal Zamir will take over as IDF chief of staff, replacing Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, on March 5, the military says.
Zamir, currently director general of the defense ministry, was chosen after Halevi announced he was resigning in light of the responsibility he bears for the failures of October 7, 2023.
