Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi announced this evening (Saturday night) in an unusual move, in light of the new instructions from the Ministry of Health, that non-consecutive soldiers who are not consumed in their unit will not return, according to decisions by commanders in the field.

According to the guidelines, the formulations for the 13th cruise, seamen and the submarine scheduled to take place in the next two days were postponed and will be held at another date which will be published later. Recruits and other IDF grants are in order. Recruits have been adapted to the Ministry of Health's directives, and as mentioned, will be held without a parent present.

IDF Spokesperson announced this evening that "In continuation of the ongoing situation to prevent the spread of the Corona virus and to maintain functional continuity in the IDF, this evening, the Chief of Staff, Maj. Gen. Aviv Kochavi, instructed the commanders, wing and commanders to conduct status assessments regarding the arrival of rear soldiers and employees. To service. "

At the same time, the IDF stated, "Emphasis will be placed on the arrival of soldiers and workers necessary to maintain preparedness, functional continuity and operational processes only, and this is tomorrow, Sunday. Individual messages will be given to soldiers by their commanders. "

This is a most dramatic decision, which means that for the first time, IDF soldiers will not return to their units and remain in their homes, in parallel with the closing of the fighting units to prevent contagion. During the Sabbath, the IDF announced that all combat units, training bases and closed units must reach bases. When they are on a long stay, for up to a month.
