Israeli army chief Herzi Halevi resigned on Tuesday over his failure to prevent an attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023. Gaza war started after this attack. A ceasefire is currently in force between Hamas and Israel.
Meanwhile, a major military operation on the Israeli-occupied West Bank city of Jenin on Tuesday killed six people and injured 35, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. Amidst the ceasefire, Israeli Army Chief Harji Halevi resigned from his post on Tuesday.
He has resigned from his post on 7 October 2023, taking responsibility for the security lapse during the Hamas attack in Israel. The IDF chief said in his resignation that the Israeli military under his leadership had failed in its mission to defend the country. Israel paid a heavy price. My responsibility for this terrible failure will be with me every day, every hour, and it will be with me for the rest of my life.
Even with these developments, most Palestinians in Gaza have returned to their homes following a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, but the destruction continues. Most of the buildings have collapsed and become ruins. The situation is such that people are not able to even recognize their own homes.
