Israeli Army Intelligence Chief Resigns on October 7 – Late Breaking World News
Israeli Army Intelligence Chief Aharon Haliva has announced his resignation following the “October 7 failures.” In a letter announcing his retirement, Major General Haliva expressed deep regret over the inability of his intelligence directorate to prevent the deadliest attack in Israeli history carried out by Hamas militants on October 7, 2023.
Haliva has called for the establishment of a state investigation committee to thoroughly examine all factors and circumstances that led to the catastrophic events on that day. He stated, “I carry that dark day with me every day and every night. I will carry the terrible pain of the war with me forever.”
It has been reported that Haliva is the first high-ranking official to step down due to his involvement in the failed response to the attack, which resulted in 1200 deaths and 250 people being taken hostage and transported to Gaza. The attack saw Hamas militants breach Israel’s border defenses and launch assaults on Israeli communities.
Following his resignation, it is expected that there may be further repercussions within Israel’s top security officials. As investigations continue into the failures of the Israeli army in the face of the Al-Aqsa Flood attack, Haliva’s departure marks a significant development in holding those responsible for the tragic events on October 7 accountable.
