After two and a half years without manning: Gallant chose Betel Lev-Ram to be commander of the IDF's waves. The acting commander for the past year, Danny Zaken, was not among the names.

Lev Ram has been working since 2008 as a military reporter and commentator on military and security affairs, first on the IDF radio station and later on Maariv and radio station 103FM. In addition, Tal serves as the head of the military correspondents section and also served as the spokesman for the IDF.
