Daniel Hagari (Hebrew: דניאל "דני" הגרי; born 1976) is 48 years old, an Israel Defense Forces Rear Admiral (Tat-Aluf) who currently serves as the head of the IDF Spokesperson's Unit.
Hagari joined the Israel Defense Forces in March 1995, and volunteered to the naval special operations unit, Shayetet 13. After completing the warrior course training in the Shaytet, he then went to the infantry officer course. At the end of the course he returned to the Shayetet 13, and was appointed a platoon commander during Operation Defensive Shield. He later served as deputy commander of the Gadsar Nahal between 2003 and 2004. After that, he was appointed deputy commander of a fighter in Shayetet 13.
On 14 November 2023, in a video posted on official IDF web channels, Hagari guided viewers through the basements of Al-Shifa Hospital and Rantisi Children's Hospital in Gaza after their capture by Israeli forces. The goal of this video was to convey "evidence" of Hamas' use of these facilities as headquarters or for other war purposes - a claim that was denied by the Islamist organization, as well as by humanitarian and medical organizations working at the health facilities.Eventually, an Israeli spokesperson noted a translation error in Hagari's statement and stated that the video of his commentary distributed to the media had been corrected, with the specific reference to the document deleted. In other words, Hagari reported that hospitals were being used by Hamas headquarters and war center but his report had been deleted.
Hagari grew up with two brothers in Tel Aviv. He has a wife and four children. He earned a bachelor's degree in philosophy and a master's degree in diplomacy and security, both from Tel Aviv University.
