@thenewsmovement: Israel’s military chief, Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi, has resigned over failing to prevent the October 7th attack. In a letter to Israel’s prime minister and defense minister, Halevi said: “As a result of my responsibility for the IDF’s failure on October 7, and at a time when the military has recorded exceptional achievements in restoring Israel’s deterrence and strength”. He will leave the position on March the 6th. The October 7th attack killed more than 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and a further 250 were taken hostage. According to AP, at the time of writing, more than 90 captives are still being held in Gaza, around a third of whom are believed to be dead. His resignation, along with the resignation of Major General Yaron Finkelman, who was head of Israel's Southern Command, will likely add to calls for a public inquiry into the Oct. 7 failures. #israel #gaza #october7 #idf #palestine
