Senior IDF officer goes into quarantine after returning from Italy on personal trip

The Israel Defense Forces confirms that the head of the Operations Directorate, Maj. Gen. Aharon Haliva, has gone into quarantine following a visit to Italy out of concerns for the COVID-19 coronavirus disease.

The military says Haliva had traveled to Italy for a personal trip, not on official business.

The Health Ministry requires all those returning from Italy and a number of other countries with the coronavirus to quarantine themselves.
