Herzi Halevi

Herzi Halevi will convene a crucial meeting with other IDF commanders on Sunday and plan future operations amid Gaza and Hezbollah tensions.

Halevi said that broadening the sectors of Israel's population that serve in the IDF and national service is the only way to replace the many Israeli soldiers who have died in the current war.

The report could have potential implications for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and could give a free pass to war minister Benny Gantz.

Halevi said, "we promise at all times that our victims, those who have fallen, will not have been in vain. There is no other way to do this other than to be drafted for substantial service."

Saar claims that he wrote in the letter that this opportunity was created due to internal conflict in Israel, as well as the level of readiness of the IDF at the time.

The latest leaks that came out about Unit 8200 talked about an internal IDF report which mostly exonerated Unit 8200’s current commander “Y” from any special fault.

In the letter entitled “Commanding challenges in a prolonged war,” the IDF chief explained that the military still has a “long way ahead” in combat, with many challenges to come.

"We have a historic opportunity to expand the IDF’s recruitment sources at a time when the necessity is very high," IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi said.

Ben-Gvir took aim at the military chief for the IDF's cooperation with Israel Police in foiling daily protests against the delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

Netanyahu has opposed any broad probes about October 7 and has opposed anyone trying to label him as having part of or significant responsibility for the failure.
