Major General Aviv Kochavi (born 1964) is an Israel Defense Forces officer. He was the commander of the Gaza Division during the unilateral disengagement, and until recently was the head of the Operations division in the Operations Directorate. In November 2010 Kochavi took over as the Military Intelligence Director.
In February 2006, he was due to visit Britain to attend a course at the Royal College of Defence Studies, but pulled out after it was suggested that he might be charged with human rights violations. This took place after Doron Almog fled Britain a few months earlier when he was charged.
