Major-General Aharon Haliva had announced his resignation in April.
JERUSALEM - The outgoing head of Israeli military intelligence, Major-General Aharon Haliva, asked on Aug 21 for “forgiveness” from Israelis for failing to protect them from Hamas’ Oct 7 attack.
“An apology won’t correct, heal or bring back the beloved ones who paid the heaviest of prices, but it must be said... On my behalf and on behalf of the entire intelligence wing, I ask for forgiveness.” The Hamas attack resulted in the deaths of 1,199 people, most of them civilians, according to an AFP tally based on Israeli official figures.
