IDF appoints Maj. Gen. Bar Kalifa to temporarily lead Military Advocate General’s Corps amid investigation into former head.

On November 7, 2025, the IDF appointed Maj. Gen. Dado Bar Kalifa, head of the Manpower Directorate, to temporarily lead the Military Advocate General’s Corps amid an ongoing investigation into former MAG Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, who was released from prison to house arrest. The move ensures operational continuity as the IDF accelerates the appointment of newly selected attorney Itay Ofir, a former Defense Ministry legal adviser and combat officer, to succeed her. The investigation centers on the leak of video footage from the Sde Teiman base, and the IDF stressed its commitment to maintaining the corps’ professionalism and stability during the transition.
