Military career
Eizenberg was born in
98th Paratroopers Division, and led it during the 2006 Lebanon War. Though the performance of his division in the war was criticized by the Winograd Commission, he was the only one of the four divisional commanders that participated in the war who continued to serve in the army after the war, advancing in the ranks. His appointment as commander of the Gaza Division was harshly criticized, due to the perceived failure of the division under his command in the Lebanon war.[2]
Eizenberg replaced Moshe Tamir as commander of the Gaza Division on 19 November 2008.[3] The handing over of command was postponed due to a surge in tensions around Gaza.[4]

On June 15, 2011, Eizenberg was appointed head of the Home Front Command and retired during 2015.
