The IsraeliTechnological and Logistics Directorate (Hebrew acronym: ATAL) or TLD is a directorate in the General Staff of the Israel Defense Forces, responsible for its logistics responses and tasks, and in particular: the building and maintenance of military bases, maintaining a medical infrastructure during peacetime and times of war and emergencies, caring for the nutrition of soldiers, purchasing and distributing spare parts and equipment, storing and conveying weapons and ammunition, as well as for the fuel and maintenance of the managerial and military vehicle fleet of the IDF.
The Directorate is the third manifestation of the Technological and Logistics Directorate, overseeing the Logistics Corps, which saw many of its units and much of its authority transferred to the Ground Forces. During an emergency, the directorate is also responsible for the deployment of most non-combat reserve units. As of 2024, it is headed by AlufMichel Yanko.
