The General Security Service (GSS, also known as the Shin Bet or Shabak) conducted a ceremony to formalize the change of deputy director today (Sunday).
The new deputy director, known only as N., previously served in the position from 2011 until 2014 before being replaced by Roni Alscheich. Alscheich is leaving the GSS in order to serve as the new police commissioner.
During the ceremony GSS head Yoram Cohen praised Alscheich for his many years of service to Israel's security, and wished him luck in the future.
