Brig. Gen. to be dismissed from Mossad over Oct. 7 failures
Brig.-Gen. G., former head of the Operations Division in Military Intelligence who served with the Mossad, will end his role by decision of the Mossad chief. In addition, two colonels - the head of the Palestinian Arab Arena and the commander of Unit 8200’s Collection Center - will be dismissed from the IDF over their conduct during the events of October 7.
The scope of the measures remains limited: most of the sanctioned officers are no longer in office, while the government continues to oppose any independent investigation into the political responsibilities of 7 October.
