Several Senior Israeli Officers Plan to Resign

Following the resignation of the head of Israel's Military Intelligence, Aharon Haliva, who is the first member of the Israeli army's General Staff to announce his resignation due to the failures of October 7, it appears he will not be the last among senior military officers expected to announce their resignations. The website "Walla" reported that "there are other officers, including four senior officers at the level of field unit commanders, who have informed their close associates of their intention to resign." The report stated that the commander of the Gaza Division, Colonel Avi Rosenfeld, may announce his resignation soon as part of taking responsibility after the deadly attack in the western Negev during his shift. The report suggests that Rosenfeld is waiting to complete the mission he has undertaken post-war, which is to establish a buffer zone between towns bordering Gaza and the depths of Gaza's territory. According to the report, "the commander of the southern region of the Israeli army, General Yaron Finkelman, who announced his acceptance of responsibility when the war began, may submit his resignation after completing the last two central missions left for his forces in the Gaza Strip, before the army transitions to concentrated and targeted operations."
