Israel's army chief, Lt Gen Herzi Halevi, has resigned due to security failures related to the deadly Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. He admitted the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) failed to protect citizens and expressed deep personal responsibility for the failure. Maj Gen Yaron Finkelman also resigned. The attack resulted in approximately 1,200 deaths, mostly civilians, and the abduction of 251 individuals. The IDF's retaliation has led to significant Palestinian casualties. Halevi's resignation comes amid a ceasefire and negotiations for hostage exchanges. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
