IDF intelligence chief resigns; Israel denounces U.S. military penalties.
As a result of the failings that allowed the attack to take place on October 7, the head of intelligence for the Israel Defense Forces said that he will step down and retire. According to Israeli media, this is the first time a general has resigned as a result of the failures that allowed the attack to take place. Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, has expressed his concern about the possibility that the United States may impose sanctions on a unit of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). He has referred to this as the “height of absurdity” at a time when his troops are engaged in a conflict with Hamas in Gaza.
Resignation of Israeli military intelligence chief over Oct. 7 Hamas attack
Be aware of the following:
In a letter of resignation that was distributed by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), Major General Aharon Haliva stated that the military intelligence directorate at the time of the attack by Hamas on October 7 did not fulfill its role as it was assigned to him. Since then, he remarked, “I have been carrying that black day with me at all times, day and night.” The attack was preceded by a number of intelligence failures, including internal warnings that were either ignored or minimized in importance.
In response to a story by Axios, Netanyahu stated that it is anticipated that the Secretary of State of the United States, Antony Blinken, will declare sanctions against Netzah Yehuda, an ultra-Orthodox military unit that is suspected of violating human rights in the occupied West Bank. During a phone chat with Blinken, the leader of the Israeli opposition, Benny Gantz, stated that the decision would “harm Israel’s international legitimacy.”

In a statement released on Monday, Maj. Gen. Aharon Haliva, who was the chief of the intelligence section of the Israel Defense Forces, announced that he has resigned from his position and will be retiring. He cited his regret for not being able to prevent the attack that Hamas carried out on Israel on October 7. According to reports from Israeli media, Haliva is the first general of the Israeli Defense Forces staff to resign from his job as a result of the mistakes that led to the attack and the invasion of Gaza. The unexpected attack resulted in the deaths of around 1,200 people, making it the single day with the highest number of fatalities in Israel’s history. In addition, 253 hostages were taken by militants to Gaza.
In a letter that was distributed by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), Haliva stated that the military intelligence directorate that was under his command did not fulfill its mandate. Since that day, I have been carrying that dark day with me at all times, day and night. I am going to have to endure the excruciating pain of the battle on a daily basis.
Israeli intelligence agents stated in December that Hamas had been methodically planning its attack on Israel for more than a year, following combat plans that were predicated on open-source materials. Israelis were initially taken aback by the strike, which immediately prompted inquiries on the intelligence and defense capabilities of the country. According to a story that was published in the Washington Post in the previous year, warnings were disregarded, and the towns that are located on the Israeli side of the border were never informed about a threat, despite the fact that evidence suggesting an attack was impending was discovered in August.
