The Israel Defense Forces will tighten rules on mobile devices for senior officers and prohibit Android phones on IDF-issued lines, Army Radio reported on Wednesday.

Axar.az informs, citing Jerusalem Post, under the expected order, commanders from the rank of lieutenant colonel and above will be permitted to use only Apple iPhones for official communications. The step is aimed at reducing the risk of intrusions on senior officers’ handsets, according to the report.

Under the plan, the IDF would standardize operating systems at senior echelons to simplify security controls and updates. The IDF has not publicly detailed timelines or exceptions, and there was no immediate comment on whether the policy will cover personal devices used for work.
