Maj. Gen. Aviad Dagan has taken over the IDF’s Computer Service Directorate, replacing Maj. Gen. Eran Niv, who is retiring from the IDF after a 35-year military career.

Dagan, who began his military service in the Israeli Air Force, previously headed the directorate’s digital transformation division, and before that, he was the commander of the Hatzerim Airbase.

During the ongoing war, Dagan has served as a navigator in the IAF’s 201st Squadron. He reportedly participated in the strikes on Iran early Saturday.
