Nimrod Aloni (Hebrew:נמרוד אלוני; born 12 July 1973) is a major-general in theIsraeli Defence Force.[1]
He has held a number of important posts in the IDF, including commander of theDepth Corps, commander of the143rd 'Gaza' Division, and led operations in theRamallah area.[1]
Aloni was born in theEin Karem village on the outskirts ofJerusalem.[citation needed] In November 1991, he enlisted in the IDF, volunteering for the35th Paratroopers Brigade where he was appointed as a commander after completing an infantry commander course. He continued in various commander positions until June 2002 when he was promoted to Major General of theCentral Command. In 2017 he was appointed theDepth Corps chief of staff, and in July 2019, he was appointed commander of the143rd 'Gaza' Division.[2] On 16 July 2023 an exchange ceremony was held in which Aloni assumed the office of commander of the Depth Corps, replacing outgoing Major GeneralItai Veruv.[3]
In 2012, during the end of his term in office as the commander of the Samaria Regional Brigade, it was reported that he had taken responsibility for the deaths of 5 members of theFogel family during an attack on their Itamar home in March 2011.[4]
Aloni was falsely claimed to have been taken prisoner byHamas on 7 October in theBattle of Re'im.[5][6] An IDF spokesperson denied the claims. TheAssociated Press assessed the claim as false following a video on 8 October from the IDF showing Aloni speaking with other Israeli military officials.[7]
