Colonel (res.) Ohad Tirosh, a prominent religious-Zionist figure who heads a Torah study center for military veterans in the settlement of Eli, issued a sharp public attack on the IDF Chief of Staff, stating flatly: 'I do not believe a single word of the Chief of Staff.' The remarks, delivered at a community event, were picked up by Israeli media outlets. Tirosh, a former IDF rabbi and battalion commander, did not specify which statements or policies prompted his comment, but his criticism reflects a broader tension between parts of the religious-nationalist community and the current military leadership. No response from the IDF or the Chief of Staff's office has been reported so far.
