Middle East updates: Israel's intel chief quits over Oct. 7
Quick Glance: Israeli Military Intelligence Chief Resigns Over Hamas Attack Failures
  • The head of Israeli military intelligence resigned due to the failures surrounding Hamas’ unprecedented attack on October 7, marking the first senior resignation in Israel's history.

  • Maj. Gen. Aharon Haliva’s resignation could trigger additional resignations among Israel’s top security officials in response to the Hamas attack that initiated the Gaza war.

  • Haliva, alongside other military and security leaders, were expected to address the evident failures leading up to and during October 7.

  • Israel and its esteemed security forces were caught entirely off guard by the Hamas attack on a Jewish holiday, shattering trust in the military. The resignation may contribute to rebuilding some of this trust.
