A senior military intelligence officer, who the IDF says was involved in the failures on October 7, will be ousted from the Mossad spy agency, where he has recently been serving.
The Prime Minister’s Office confirms the report.
Brig. Gen. “Gimmel” headed the Military Intelligence Directorate’s Operational Division on October 7, 2023, and was later lent to the Mossad.
IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir yesterday announced that he would be ousted from the IDF over his role in the failures.
Mossad director David Barnea today approved Zamir’s decision and has ruled that the officer will also no longer serve in the intelligence agency.
