IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi inspected the Home Command on Wednesday and was presented with details of how it is helping secure the country during the COVID-19 outbreak. Kochavi also spoke with soldiers who will man a call center that will soon handle calls from worried civilians.
“This is a time of emergency,” the chief of staff told the soldiers, “and the IDF is adapting to its needs and those of the country.”
“The IDF is already engaged in a variety of fields offering aid and will be ready to fulfill any task it is given,” he said. “As always, we will be ready for anything.”
