Israeli army chief of staff submits resignation over Hamas' Oct 7 attack

Israel's Chief of Staff, Gen. Herzi Halevi, resigned over security failures linked to Hamas' October 7 attack, stating the military had 'failed in its mission to protect the citizens of Israel.'
A large Israeli operation in the West Bank resulted in at least eight deaths, according to Palestinian officials.
The ceasefire initiated on Sunday allows for the release of hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, but concerns remain about its sustainability.
Halevi's resignation and that of Gen. Yaron Finkelman may intensify calls for a public inquiry into the October 7 security failures, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suggested could wait until the war ends.
