Lieutenant General Daniel Shomron (Hebrew: דן שומרון; August 5, 1937 – February 26, 2008) was the 13th Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), from 1987 to 1991.

After the Sinai war, Shomron completed Infantry Officers Course and served as a platoon commander in his brigade.

During the Six-Day War, he commanded a unit on the Egyptian front, and was the first paratrooper to reach the Suez Canal.

That was a strong moment that I can't forget.In 1978, Shomron was in charge of the evacuation and dismantling of Yamit and army bases in the Sinai Peninsula, which occurred within the framework of the Camp David Accords with Egypt.

In 1983, Shomron established the ground forces command, to be in charge of the infantry, tanks, artillery and engineer corps.

Dan Shomron died on February 26, 2008, at a hospital in Herzliya, Israel from complications of a brain aneurysm that struck him three weeks earlier.
