The Israeli army Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi announced Tuesday that he will resign in March, citing military failure in preventing the Oct. 7 Hamas attack.
In a statement, Halevi said he notified Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz that he intends to resign on March 6.
His resignation will come about 10 months earlier than the standard three-year term after serving two years and two months in office.
