Israel’s military chief of staff will resign over what he said was his failure to prevent the October 7, 2023, attack. Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi becomes the most senior Israeli figure to resign over failures to prevent Hamas’s surprise attack on that day. Halevi led Israel’s military campaign that reduced much of Gaza’s civilian infrastructure to rubble and massacred over 47,000 people, according to Palestinian officials, who believe another 10,000 bodies are trapped beneath the rubble.
