Israel’s military intelligence chief resigns over Hamas’ October 7 attack

The head of Israel’s military intelligence branch has resigned over the failure of his unit during the October 7 Hamas attack.

“It has been decided that MG Aharon Haliva will terminate his post and retire from the IDF, once his replacement is appointed in an orderly and professional process,” the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement on Monday.
Major General Aharon Haliva, who has served in the IDF for 38 years, is the first senior military figure to resign over the October 7 attacks, when Hamas fighters stormed the border into Israel.

The attack was widely seen as a major Israeli intelligence failure, with several top defense and security officials coming forward in October to take some responsibility for the missteps that led to the attack.

Following the attack that caught Israel off guard, Haliva acknowledged an “intelligence failure” by his unit for not detecting Hamas’ plans.

“We did not perform our most important duty, and as the head of the Intelligence Directorate, I take full responsibility for this failure,” he said at the time.
