The Israeli Artillery Corps (Hebrew: חיל התותחנים, Heil HaTothanim) is the Israel Defense Forces corps responsible for operating medium and long-range artillery. The current commander of the Artillery Corps is Brigadier General Neri Horowitz. He replaced Brig. Gen. Aviram Sela.^[2]

The corps is tasked with two principal missions:

1. Assisting IDF maneuvering forces, at the place, time and with the firepower required.
2. Paralyzing and destroying enemy targets throughout the IDF zone of operations.

The Artillery Corps is an integral corps of GOC Army Headquarters. It is a diverse corps, with its lion share consisting of high-trajectory barrel artillery. Artillery Corps soldiers wear Turquoise berets.
