Maj. Gen. Yaki Dolf has been appointed by IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir to head a new military headquarters that will liaise between the IDF and the US-led international monitoring mechanism overseeing the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

Dolf is the incoming commander of the Northern Corps, a relatively dormant unit.

The new headquarters will be subordinate to Deputy Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Tamir Yadai, according to the military.
