The Zionist political arena is full of divisions and sharp conflicts as a result of the ongoing war on Gaza, in light of the continued fall of Zionist officers and soldiers in the Gaza Strip, between dead and wounded. The entity has incurred huge economic losses, recording a major failure in achieving any of the goals of that war, whether by eliminating "Hamas" or by recovering the Zionist detainees held by the movement.
The successive resignations of some leaders of the branches and arms of the Zionist army reflect the extent of the growing differences within the military establishment and the struggle over appointments to leadership positions. As well as related matters such as the failure to prevent Operation "Noah's Flood" and achieve the goals of the war on Gaza, as stated by the resigning officers and leaders themselves.
Yahya Sinwar's assumption of leadership of the political bureau of the Hamas movement on August 6, following the assassination of his predecessor, Ismail Haniyeh, in the Iranian capital, Tehran, is a step that means a lot to the Palestinian resistance movements. It is a dedication to a unique concept that is instilled among its ranks and in future generations, especially since the war is still raging with the Zionist entity.
In turn, General Israel Ziv, the former head of the Operations Division of the Zionist army, confirmed in an article on the Hebrew Channel 12 that his country is stuck in Gaza and bleeding, and the continuation of the war in the Strip without replacing the Hamas movement regime does not lead to any real results and costs the entity the lives of its soldiers and officers.
Influential Generals Resign
Just two days before General Israel Ziv's article, General Herzi Halevi, the Chief of Staff of the Zionist army, set the end of next December as a possible date for submitting his resignation from his position. This was indicated by the Hebrew Channel 12, as he is waiting for the completion of the investigations into the failure of the "Al-Aqsa Flood" operation, considering that the end of this year is the appropriate time to announce his resignation from his military position.
The Hebrew Channel 14 considered Halevi's resignation as an "escape" from responsibility, despite the channel's confirmation that by the end of next December, the occupation army will have completed its preparations for a comprehensive war in Lebanon, and its indication that General Halevi's setting of a date for his resignation from his position coincided with the announcement of General Yossi Shariel, commander of Unit 8200, his resignation against the backdrop of the failure of October 7. This further complicated matters within the Zionist military establishment.
8200 Intelligence Unit Commander: I wasn’t up to the task
"I was not up to the task despite expectations. On October 7, I did not accomplish the mission as expected of me, as my orders stipulated, and as the citizens of the country I love so much expected of me." With these words, General Yossi Shariel, commander of the 8200 Unit of the Zionist Intelligence, sent a letter to the Chief of Staff, in which he submitted his resignation from his position, on September 12, 2024. He thus joins a long series of resignations within the Zionist army, although these resignations are the last, so far.
Yossi Shariel announced his responsibility for what happened on October 7, despite the importance of his military unit, especially since it represents the main link in the entity's external security system, and its control over military centers and bases in the north and south of the country. All of this is in addition to being the unit responsible for decoding and analyzing the information obtained by the intelligence apparatus.
This means that the resignation is conclusive evidence of the continued Zionist intelligence failure, up until now, despite the passage of nearly a year since the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation and confirms the strength of Sinwar’s continuity in his political and military position.
Internal conflict and dispute
Shariel is the second in charge after the head of the Intelligence Division, General Aharon Haliva, the first in charge of Military Intelligence (Aman), submitted his resignation on April 22, 2024. This reflects the extent of the intelligence failure in preventing the October 7, 2023 attack. The newspaper "Maariv" explained that despite the delay in the resignation, the "Aman" apparatus is in real need of comprehensive rehabilitation and re-establishment, considering it as a "snowball" rolling inside the occupation army, and the beginning of an expected wave of resignations by senior leaders of the Zionist security services.
This wave, Amos Harel, the political analyst for the Hebrew "Haaretz", considered the real beginning of identifying the extent of the internal conflicts and disputes between senior officers and generals in the Zionist army; which reflects the failure of the army's readiness for a multi-front war that puts the future of the entity at stake.
"A Warrior's Cry" in a Public Speech
The newspaper "Israel Hayom" quoted General Dan Goldfus, commander of the Zionist "98th Division", on March 13, that he appeared in a public speech, to demand that Netanyahu and his government be worthy of the sacrifices shown by the occupation soldiers. This seems like a warrior's cry and the beginning of a military rebellion within the army, at the same time.
The Hebrew newspaper "Haaretz" published an explanation for the suicide of 10 officers and soldiers in the Zionist army since the "Al-Aqsa Flood", explaining that what the suicides saw in the combat sites destroyed their souls; while it quoted psychological experts that as a general rule, most soldiers who commit suicide are very young, in basic training or in the first year of service.
A soldier's call to revolt and rebel against the army leaders
The call of a Zionist soldier to revolt and rebel against the Zionist Minister of Defense and the Chief of Staff, and to use weapons against any decision related to the day after the war in Gaza, unless Netanyahu issued this decision; The army opened an urgent investigation into the incident on May 25, 2024. The soldier had posted a video of himself "masked", to lift the curtain on the state of fear and confusion that prevailed inside "Israel"; politically and militarily, which was confirmed by the Hebrew "Channel 12".
Certainly, the Zionist entity has always tried to distance the army from any internal political disputes, while emphasizing that the Chief of Staff is the true commander-in-chief of the occupation army and considering that the position of Minister of Defense in "Tel Aviv" is a political position that any politician can assume.
Zionist General Confirms Failure in His Military Mission
On June 9, 2024, General Avi Rosenfeld, commander of the Gaza Division in the Zionist army, confirmed his failure in his mission as a military commander. He therefore submitted his resignation from his position, referring to his failure to protect the Gaza Envelope settlements from the attack of the "Qassam Brigades" elements on October 7. Under the title "I Failed in the Mission of My Life", Rosenfeld announced his resignation in an official letter addressed to the Zionist Chief of Staff, explaining that all army commanders bear responsibility for the failure to confront the "Al-Aqsa Flood" attack, stressing his participation in the investigations into this attack to draw lessons.
The Hebrew Channel 12, in its comment (on June 10) on General Rosenfeld's resignation, blamed him for his direct responsibility for the Gaza Division's lack of preparation for Hamas' offensive operation. It pointed out that the same division lost its "eyes" on the morning of October 7, so the elements of his division took 4 full days to assemble a picture of what happened in the Gaza Envelope settlements.
The strange thing is that the day General Rosenfeld announced his resignation from his military position coincided with the resignation of both Benny Gantz and Gadi Eisenkot from their positions as members of the security cabinet for managing the war on Gaza (the Gaza Cabinet), after which Netanyahu came out and called on the three of them that what is happening in the Strip requires unity, not division and resignation.
Earthquake in the General Staff
On September 3, 2024, the newspaper "Israel Hayom" reported that the commander of the ground forces in the occupation army, General Tamir Yadai, had announced his resignation from his position for personal reasons, which the website "Walla" described as "an earthquake in the Israeli General Staff", especially since Yadai was one of the military leaders who called for a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip; which means that he bears responsibility for the heavy losses of dead among the ranks of the Zionist army.
Amir Bohbot, the military commentator for the website, did not stop there but explained that General Yadai's resignation came due to hidden internal disagreements within the General Staff regarding promotions and appointments in the leadership of the Zionist army.
What was taken by force cannot be restored except by force
Zionist pens continue to emphasize the loss of their country's army in Gaza and its falling into a quagmire and mire and the exhaustion of the resistance movements and "Hezbollah" of the Zionist entity. While Sinwar's assumption of leadership of "Hamas" means a lot to the resistance factions and movements between continuing the approach of resistance and not abandoning weapons, and defining that weapons are the only solution to the Palestinian issue; because what was taken by force cannot be restored except by force.
Sinwar learned during his time in Zionist prisons that the entity does not know the meaning of peace, but he understands the concept of force and what it represents for future generations, as many Zionist writers believe that Sinwar's leadership of "Hamas" confirms the true approach of the resistance movements and emphasizes the importance of returning the occupied lands to their owners, which is what Sinwar learned from his officers and guards in Zionist prisons; while the occupying state continues to bleed inside Gaza.
