Yadai has served as the head of the Ground Forces for the past three years, The Times of Israel reported.

Yadai is expected to step down within the coming weeks, once a replacement officer is found. It is not immediately clear who will be replacing him.

Yadai will be on furlough for the time being, and will later submit his candidacy for “significant positions” in the military, the report added.
