The list includes one new brigadier general and 27 new colonels, plus another brigadier general and 14 colonels who are moving to new positions of the same rank.

The positions were left unfilled pending the findings of the Israel Defense Forces' internal investigations into the failures of October 7, and to allow Zamir to make the appointments.
