The commander of the IDF’s Unit 8200, Brig. Gen. Yossi Sariel, has notified his superiors and subordinates that he intends to resign.
The IDF says Sariel is due to be replaced “in the coming period.”
8200 is the IDF’s main signals intelligence unit, and is among the units that failed to prevent Hamas’s October 7 onslaught.
