Brigadier General Yossi Sariel, head of Israel's intelligence unit Unit 8200, has resigned, citing personal responsibility for not preventing the October 7 Hamas attack that killed over 1,200 people. Despite having warned officials about Hamas's plans in an earlier intelligence brief, the attack revealed significant lapses in intelligence and operations. Sariel's resignation follows a broader crisis within Israeli military leadership, with other senior officials also stepping down.
