Israel is facing criticism over the missed warning signs before the October 7 attack, which killed four Israelis and wounded seven others. The government has finally taken action against one of its top officials, IDF chief Yaakov Halevi, who resigned after being implicated in the incident.
The decision comes as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces pressure to take responsibility for the government’s handling of the crisis. His next target is likely to be either Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar or Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara.
The October 7 attack has cast a long shadow over Israel, with many questioning how the government could have been so blind to the warnings signs. The incident has led to repeated airings on Israeli television news programs, which continue to scrutinize the events of that day.
With the investigation into the attack ongoing, concerns are growing that more officials may face consequences for their role in missing those warning signs. As the country continues to grapple with the aftermath, Netanyahu’s leadership is being put under intense scrutiny.
