A senior Israeli intelligence officer has reportedly announced his intention to resign over the failures that led to Hamas’s October 7 onslaught.
The Kan public broadcaster quotes the head of the Military Intelligence Research Department, Brig. Gen. Amit Saar, as saying he will quit once the IDF wraps up its probes into its failures.
“I understand that as soon as the military investigation is finished, the ones who will rebuild everything in the Military Intelligence Directorate will be other commanders,” Saar reportedly says.
Kan says the remarks were made during a conference with the head of the Intelligence Directorate, the commander of Unit 8200, and other intelligence officers.
