Bucking Katz, IDF chief announces round of military appointments

Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir has announced a significant round of military appointments, promoting several officers to senior command roles. The list includes 14 officers elevated to brigadier general and four to colonel, with additional officers moving to new positions at their current rank. Many of those promoted played key roles in recent military operations in the Gaza Strip and other fronts. Notable appointments include commanders of major divisions and brigades, such as the Gaza Division, the Operations Directorate, and the Ground Forces.

The appointments are subject to approval by Defense Minister Israel Katz, who has expressed reservations due to a lack of prior coordination. The new roles reflect the ongoing reshuffling within the military leadership following recent conflicts.
