According to the report of the AFP news, the Israeli army released video of a closing ceremony in which Israeli military intelligence chief Aharon Haliva apologizes to the public for the failure of the October 7 Hamas attack.
Aharon Haliva said that that day was a dark day for me and I still carry it today. Haliva is the first person in Israeli military intelligence to publicly apologize for his failure.
It should be remembered that about 1200 Israeli citizens were killed and about 250 were taken hostage in the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. .About 100 of them were released in exchange for Palestinian prisoners during a temporary ceasefire in November.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has yet to accept any defeat on the part of his security forces over the October 7 defensive failure.
According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, more than 40,100 Palestinians have been killed by Israel so far, the majority of whom are children and women.
