Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has selected Brig. Gen. Roman Gofman to be his next military secretary.
The military says the nomination was made following consultations with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi.
Gofman, who most recently served as the commander of the Tzeelim training base, will be promoted to the rank of major general upon entering the role, at a date yet to be determined.
He will replace Maj. Gen. Avi Gil, who has served in the position for nearly three years.
Gofman was seriously wounded during clashes with Hamas terrorists near Sderot during the October 7 onslaught. He later recovered.
