Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon (Likud) had a farewell talk with Yair Ramati, the newly-dismissed head of the Defense Ministry's Homa department. Ramati is being removed from his position after committing security violations.
"I want to thank you for your years of service to the Defense Ministry as the head of Homa, and before that in the aerospace industry and in the IDF," said Ya'alon.
He added: "Sadly and due to the circumstances that have arisen, we are forced to end your work at the Defense Ministry. The decision was made with a very heavy heart, but we were left with no choice."
