The Israeli military is facing a crisis as top officers resign following the IDF’s failure to stop Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Major-General Yehuda Fox, a senior military commander, is planning to resign in August, according to the Israeli public broadcaster KAN. This is the second such resignation by a military commander in recent days, following the resignation of Major-General Aharon Haliva, head of the IDF’s Military Intelligence Directorate.
The exact reason behind Fox’s planned resignation is not yet known, but it is widely believed to be related to the IDF’s failure to effectively counter Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Haliva resigned over his failure to predict the Hamas attack that triggered the current round of violence. The IDF has been heavily criticized for its handling of the situation, and Fox’s resignation is likely to further damage the military’s reputation.
The resignations of Fox and Haliva are a sign of growing dissatisfaction within the IDF with the government’s handling of the Gaza Strip. The IDF is facing a difficult situation, and it is unclear how it will be able to stop Hamas from launching further attacks.
