Israeli military intelligence chief resigns, claims responsibility for October 7
Aharon Haliva

Israel's military intelligence chief resigned on Wednesday (August 21) as he took responsibility for the failure of border defenses in the October 7 attack last year.

General Aharon Haliva, who has served in the Israeli army for 38 years, announced in April that he will retire from his post. He is among several senior Israeli commanders who said they had failed to predict and prevent the deadliest attack in Israel's history.

 "The failure of the intelligence corps was my fault," Haliva said during the departure ceremony, as he called for a national inquiry "in order to study" and "fully understand" the reasons that led to the war between Israel and Hamas.

The October 7 attack severely tarnished the reputation of Israel's military and intelligence services, which were previously seen as invincible by Palestinian armed groups such as Hamas, Reuters writes.

In the early morning hours of October 7, after an intense rocket attack, thousands of fighters from Hamas and other groups broke through the security barriers around Gaza, surprising Israeli forces and striking communities in southern Israel.

About 1,200 Israelis and foreigners were killed in the attack, most of them civilians - and another 250 were taken hostage and taken to Gaza, according to Israeli figures. 109 hostages are believed to be still in Gaza, while a third of them are believed to be dead.

The head of the armed forces, General Herzi Halevi, and the head of the Shin Bet intelligence agency, Ronen Bar, claimed responsibility after the attack, but have remained in office during the war in Gaza.
