OCCUPIED AL-QUDS: The head of Israel´s military resigned on Tuesday, taking responsibility for its “failure” to stop Hamas´s October 7 attack, days after a fragile truce took effect following 15 months of war in the Gaza Strip.
In his resignation letter, released by the army, Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi said he was stepping down “due to my acknowledgement of responsibility for the (military´s) failure on October 7”, but added that he was leaving at a time of “significant successes”.
He acknowledged, however, that the goals of the Gaza war “have not all been achieved”, adding the army would “continue to fight to further dismantle Hamas”, bring back the hostages and enable Israelis displaced by militant attacks to return home.
