The new IDF Spokesman, Brigadier-General Hidai Zilberman, has assumed his post, replacing Brigadier-General Ronen Manelis, who held the position for 2.5 years.
Zilberman was to have assumed the post at the start of the month, but the appointment was postponed due to the situation along Israel’s northern border and Hezbollah.
The ceremony was held on Sunday in the Aviv Base in Tel Aviv in the presence of IDF Chief of Operations Major-General Aharon Chaliva. Zilberman previously served as head of the IDF’s Planning Directorate.
