The Israeli military has dismissed three generals and imposed disciplinary measures on several high-ranking officers following their failure to prevent Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, which is considered the most significant blow suffered by "Israel" to date.
This comes after Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir launched an internal investigation into the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF), despite the Israeli government's reluctance to initiate a commission of inquiry.
The dismissed officers include three division commanders, among them the former head of military intelligence, all held personally accountable for the catastrophic failures of October 7.
According to a military statement, these actions reflect responsibility for the IOF's inability to foresee or respond adequately to the operation launched by the Palestinian Resistance. Notably, the dismissals follow the earlier resignations of the same officers.
Additional disciplinary measures were announced against the heads of the Navy and Air Force, along with four other generals and several senior officers.
The expert committee assigned by Zamir concluded its investigation, exposing a "long-standing systemic and organizational failure." The internal report identified severe lapses in intelligence gathering and decision-making, despite the availability of high-quality intelligence prior to the operation. The report also emphasized the military's failure to issue warnings or deploy forces effectively on the night of October 7.
