The appointment of Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Command, Herzli Halevi, to the post of Deputy Chief of Staff was natural, despite the fact that he faced a veteran general such as the Commander of the Land Forces, Joel Strick.
Usually, when a deputy commissioner has multiple influences and experience in the second half of the chief of staff's tenure, he also overshadows the character of the incumbent chief of staff and this has a great impact.
Lt. Col. Aviv Kochavi has known this feeling since his time as deputy chief of staff Gadi Izenkot.
There is a moment when the top of the army realizes that the incoming deputy chief of staff is the next thing and draws his attention to it. To the tension between the two will be added the fact that in the general staff it is appreciated that Kochavi preferred Strik over Halevy. The latter is not considered a routine general. Progress without shortcuts Halevy is defined in the army as systemic, without enemies but also without "cliques".
Kochavi knows the feeling from his days as Izenkot's deputy.

Halevi, a member of a rooted Jerusalem family, attended a religious religious high school and at the beginning of his military career volunteered for paratroopers.
There he stood out and moved to the General Staff Reconnaissance and led classified operations deep in enemy territory. It is not clear to this day whether the "unit" designed it or has always been so but the runner is portrayed in the military consciousness as a classic General Staff list.
Quiet and often also introverted.
He later took part in Mustafa Dirani's abduction from Lebanon and in the failed rescue of abducted soldier Nachshon Waxman.
He commanded the General Staff patrol in Operation Defensive Shield and a series of special operations. Up the road he commanded the Menashe Spatial Brigade and returned to the Paratroopers Brigade this time as a brigade commander.
The passage was not smooth but very quickly its power was revealed when he commanded the Red Brigade in Operation Cast Lead.
Halevy later held a senior position in the Armed Forces and later commanded the formation of the Galilee in the Northern Command. At the end of his term, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked to appoint him military secretary, but then-Chief of Staff Bnei Gantz objected, claiming he had already been appointed commander of the POM And below) and in his place appointed the current Deputy Chief of Staff, General Eyal Zamir.
Commanded the most explosive arena.

In 2014 he was appointed head of the Armed Forces. His intelligence reviews inside and outside the military were very attractive. “He reviews with supreme grace.
One of the best I've ever heard, "said he former senior officer sitting around a table at critical moments." He goes down to detail, thorough, know to pack the reality in a clear and easy to understand, and often displaying the opinion of the system and not just the mind unlike others in his position. "
Not all tenure as head of Military Intelligence went smoothly and the thunderous blast occurred precisely when he reached the top division fundamental disagreement with the head of research Gen. Eli Ben-Meir ending the latter's request to resign and retire from the army.
then he was appointed commander of the Southern Command sequential tense, which resulted in the His calm and pleasant character, but sharp and creative. If Halevi's priesthood is to be packaged so far in the IDF's most explosive arena, it must be summed up through his preparations for war.
"He plowed deep into the operational plans and level of readiness of the units for a broad campaign against Hamas. It is not pleasant to say but his model was copied by other generals in the General Staff," senior reserve officers in the Southern Command say of him.
He does not think from the belly.
He is very considerate. "

The attempt to inflict on him a "dune attack" in response to the rocket launches does a great injustice to the mighty attack machine he set up in command.
Not only a large amount of targets accumulated since his arrival but also the ability to attack in a very short period of time. "The
time until the next position as deputy chief of staff will slowly pass under high tension where the entire command is mainly because of the waves produced by the Gaza Strip
It is estimated that a replacement will be appointed very soon in the Southern Command and there are a number of contenders.
The overlap will then begin and enter the 14th floor of the General Staff building.
Halevi is known as a very critical officer who does not like extreme revolutions and the chief of staff the exact opposite.
It will be very interesting to see how the two get along.
For example, Kochavi managed to eliminate Eyal Zamir as his deputy until the moment he decided to appoint him "supervisor of the corona".
One of Halevi's biggest challenges will be not only to engage in power building but to actually promote the multi-year program "Tnufa", which Kochavi promotes against the background of the budgetary and political crisis in Israel.
