Brigadier General Eliab Elbaz has assumed command of the Sinai Division (252), succeeding Brigadier General Yehuda Vach. Vach, who served in the role for the past two years, will move on to become head of the Doctrine and Guidance Brigade in the Operations Directorate. The change of command ceremony took place today at "Maoz Mul Gaza" and was led by the head of the Southern Command, Major General Yaniv Asor.
In his remarks, Major General Asor emphasized the ongoing mission, stating, "The mission is not complete. We will continue to operate with determination, initiative, and aggression, pursuing our enemies everywhere, attacking and thwarting, and doing whatever is necessary so that the citizens of Israel can live here in security. This is our mission, our responsibility, and our commitment to the residents, the fighters, and future generations."
Brigadier General Vach reflected on his tenure, recalling the events of three years prior and the aftermath of the October 7th attacks. "Three years ago, we stood here broken and shattered into pieces. With the breaking of the fences, our hearts were also broken. We could not believe the horrors our eyes witnessed," Vach said. He added, "For the past two years, Division 252 has worked almost non-stop. We learned the language of this heroic generation that broke through here from among the rocks on Simchat Torah. All we did was gather and grow, learn and teach. Nahal Oz has returned to flourish, and the area of Telmi has grown."
