The Israeli army's chief has dismissed several generals for failing to prevent the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023.

The Israeli army announced the dismissal of several key generals, including General Aharon Haliva, head of military intelligence, and Major General Oded Basyuk, head of the Operations Directorate, due to the failure to prevent the Hamas movement's attack. This was the bloodiest day in Israel's history. The three generals have been removed from the reserve corps and will no longer be part of the army.

A report from a committee of experts concluded that there were systemic deficiencies within the military apparatus, including a "conceptual failure" and the intelligence services' inability to alert appropriately. Additionally, disciplinary sanctions were imposed on other generals and high-ranking officers, highlighting high-level responsibility for the tragedy of October 7.
