A single source has reported that Israel's Chief of Staff, Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, recommended against promoting a senior officer named Hisham. The source, described as familiar with the matter, characterized Hisham as a 'quality field commander' who previously served as a brigade commander ('קשנ״ר') in the early stages of the current war. The source further suggested that Hisham should have been elevated to division commander and eventually to major general ('אלוף'), expressing disappointment that he 'left the track' and wishing him well in a new post.
The report does not name Hisham's full rank, his current or new role, nor the specific timing of the decision. No further details from the IDF spokesperson or other official channels have been published. The background relationship between Zamir and Hisham, and the exact reasons for the recommendation, remain unspecified. This appears to be an isolated inside account, without independent corroboration available at this time.
