Erez Zuckerman (Hebrew: ארז צוקרמן; born 1964) was the founding commander of the Egoz Reconnaissance Unit, a commander in Shayetet 13 (the Israeli Navy's elite naval commando unit), and the Golani Brigade. His final position in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) was as the commander of the armored reserve division, Netiv HaEsh Formation, in Northern Command, holding the rank of brigadier general.
He commanded the division during the final days of the 2006 Lebanon War and resigned several months after the war, citing his decision to "take personal responsibility for the failure in his role as division commander."
