According to Al Jazeera Qatar, Israeli sources have reported that Oded Basiuk, the commander of the Israeli army’s operations department, has resigned in the wake of the significant military setback experienced during the October 7 attack. The sources confirmed that the Chief of Staff of the Israeli Army has approved his resignation.
Israel’s army has admitted its “complete failure” over the deadly 7 October 2023 attack by Hamas, saying that it hugely underestimated the capabilities of the militant group.
An investigation by the Israeli military released said the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) had “failed in its mission to protect Israeli civilians”.
The report could pressure Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to launch a widely demanded broader inquiry to examine the political decision-making that preceded the single deadliest attack in Israeli history, which triggered the now 16-month war in Gaza.
The investigation’s main findings were that the Israeli military misread Hamas’ intentions, underestimated its strength, and was wholly unprepared for the surprise attack by thousands of heavily armed militants in the early morning hours of a major Jewish holiday.
