- IDF to impose severe limitations on cellphone use by senior officers following the October 7th Massacre.
- Previously, officers with the rank of Colonel and higher were provided with military cellphones, primarily iPhones due to perceived higher security.
- New changes extend limitations to Lieutenant Colonels and ban non-iPhones for operational or command purposes.
- Android devices will still be allowed for personal use but not for military operations.
- The new order is expected to be implemented soon.
