Israel’s military intelligence chief has taken responsibility for officials’ failures leading up to the October 7 attack and has resigned. Major General Aharon Haliva is the first senior figure to quit over Hamas’ attack. Israeli military and intelligence officials missed or ignored multiple warnings leading up to Hamas’ attack on October 7. Haliva says that he ‘will carry the horrible pain of the war with him forever’. He will retire once a successor is selected.
