Shin Bet appoints new deputy head
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Shin Bet security agency announces the appointment of a new deputy head selected by agency chief Ronen Bar and approved by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The new deputy, only identified by the Hebrew initial of his first name, “Shin,” will enter the role in a few months, the Shin Bet says in a statement.
It says he’s 52 years old and has served in a series of senior roles since joining the agency in 1995, including as head of the agency’s departments dealing with research, foiling terror attacks in the northern West Bank, and counter-intelligence. He has helmed the operations branch in the past three years.
He will replace “Mem,” who is ending a three-year term as deputy head that has been extended several times amid the war.
