The head of IDF's Military Intelligence Directorate Maj. Gen. Aharon Haliva announced Monday that he is stepping down, a decision that follows what has been recognized as an intelligence failure on Oct. 7.

Haliva had formally notified IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi of his intention to step down in the wake of the Hamas onslaught that took Israeli forces by surprise. Haliva and Halevi reached a mutual agreement that Haliva would continue to serve until a successor was found.

In his resignation letter, Haliva reflected on his 38-year-long service, saying, Throughout my career, I have been acutely aware of the immense responsibilities that come with leadership – responsibilities to the mission, our people, and to both our successes and failures.

Haliva described the events of Oct. 7 as a "murderous surprise attack" that highlighted a critical lapse in intelligence under his leadership. He was among the first to take responsibility for the intelligence failure.
