The intelligence chief of *******’s Defense Forces has resigned citing failures linked to the ****** ******* ******* carried out on Oct. 7, during which 1,200 people ***** in ******* and more than 200 were taken ********.

“On Saturday, October 7, 2023, ****** carried out a murderous surprise ******* against the State of *******, whose consequences are severe and painful. The intelligence division under my command did not live up to the task assigned to it,” Major General Aharon Haliva said in a resignation letter supplied by the IDF.

“At the beginning of the war I expressed to you my ******* to accept responsibility and finish my duties,” he added. “After more than six months, and at the same time as the investigations begin, I would like to resign from my position.”

Haliva had previously assumed responsibility for ******** to prevent the devastating *******, amid mounting domestic criticism and demands for accountability from *******’s highest echelons. He is the first senior official to step down over the incident.

******** Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has so far not directly accepted fault for the *******, despite survey results indicating that the majority of Israelis believe he should acknowledge culpability, according to Reuters and the Times of *******.
