The IDF announces the promotion of Brig. Gen. Rami Abudraham to major general, with him assuming command next week of the IDF Technology and Logistics Directorate, replacing Maj. Gen. Mishel Yanko.
Abudraham was named to the post in July as part of a broader round of senior General Staff appointments.
At the ceremony in Tel Aviv, Defense Minister Israel Katz says: “This immense responsibility — ensuring the logistical and technological response for all IDF units — is now your mission.” Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir adds: “Your command has been marked by a deep understanding of the field alongside a broad view of the entire campaign.”
Abudraham, previously chief of staff of the IDF Ground Forces, said, “I proudly bear the privilege of serving our soldiers, conscripts and reservists alike — those standing in defense and at the spearhead of the offensive.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
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.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
