IDF Chief of Staff says Farewell to Golani Brigade

The Chief of the General Staff, Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi, bids farewell to the Golani Brigade, where he served as a young soldier. The visit was held during his farewell rounds to all branches and units in the IDF, before leaving his position in February.

During the visit, which was held at the brigade's training base, key figures from Lt. Gen. Ashkenazi's days as a soldier took the stage, among them: the Brigade Commander from the time during which the Chief of Staff was the brigade's Operations Officer, and his personal assistant from his time as Brigade Commander.
