Depth Corps

The Depth Corps (Hebrew: מפקדת העומק, lit. 'Depth Headquarters') of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is a command formed in 2011 to coordinate the IDF's long range operations and operations deep in enemy territory.

The command originally formed in the 1980s but was scaled down and then planned again in the 2000s. The decision for its formation in the current form was taken by Chief of Staff Benny Gantz in 2011. Its current commander is Major General Itai Veruv.
