Maj.-Gen. Tomer Bar has requested to retire after serving four years as the chief of the Israel Air Force (IAF), according to a report by N12. Despite efforts by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to persuade him to remain in his role amid ongoing military operations against Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, Bar is set to step down in April.

Bar’s decision marks the end of a significant chapter in the IAF’s leadership during a period of heightened regional tensions. His tenure has been characterized by strategic advancements and critical air operations.
