In what might be a signal toward Iran, Maj.-Gen. Aharon Haliva was appointed on Thursday to be the next head of the IDF intelligence.
Haliva is currently the head of the IDF’s Operations Directorate – which is in charge of overseeing and coordinating the IDF’s readiness for war.
Some see this move as a sign that the IDF wants an experienced, well-informed officer heading the Intelligence Directorate.
In his previous positions, Haliva was the commander of the Paratroopers Brigade and the IDF Training Base 1, officers’ school.
This comes as part of a round of appointments in the IDF General Staff.
