IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari will end his role in the coming weeks and retire from the military.
The move was agreed upon with new IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir.
Most IDF spokespersons serve for two years in the role. Hagari entered the position in March 2023.
“The chief of staff wished to express his great appreciation to Rear Adm. Hagari for his years of significant combat service for the State of Israel. Rear Adm. Hagari performed his role as IDF spokesman during one of the most complex wars in the country’s history, in a professional and dedicated manner,” the military says.
