Israeli Chief of Staff resigns over October 7 'failure': Statement

The head of Israel's military, Herzi Halevi, resigned Monday over his responsibility for its "failure" during the Palestinian militant group Hamas' attack on October 7, 2023.

In his resignation letter, released by the army, Halevi said he was leaving "due to my acknowledgement of responsibility for the (military's) failure on October 7," saying he was leaving at a time of "significant successes" for the military.
