IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir announces a round of senior appointments in the military, which the military says were all approved by Defense Minister Israel Katz.
During a previous round of appointments, Katz clashed with Zamir for not consulting with him before the announcement.
The latest list includes 35 new colonels, alongside 20 existing colonels who have been moved to new positions at the same rank. Another three senior officers are being sent to academic studies between roles.
