As the wave of resignations continued in Israel, local media reported that Israeli Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi has set a December deadline to submit his resignation for failing to prevent October 7 infiltration into Israel by Palestinian resistance factions, Anadolu news agency reports.
Israel’s Channel 12 broadcaster said Halevi decided to step down at the end of this year, pending the conclusion of investigations into the Israeli military’s failure to respond effectively to the attack.
According to the report, Halevi disclosed his plan to step down during a conversation with his associates.
By late December, Tel Aviv is expected to complete its investigations into the army’s failure to stop the events of October 7, the report added, adding that the army is also expected to have completed its preparations for an all-out war with Lebanon.
Earlier, Brigadier General Yossi Sariel, the commander of the Israeli army’s intelligence Unit 8200, announced his resignation over his failure to prevent the events of October 7.
