According to Israeli media reports on the 22nd, the head of the IDF military intelligence, Aharon Haliwa, has resigned. It happened quite suddenly, and everyone was wondering why they resigned. There must be a reason for the resignation, especially in the midst of a war, and the head of your intelligence department has resigned, and there must be a reason.
Generally speaking, what went wrong and he was to be held responsible, so what was his responsibility?
Now look at two possibilities: one is that when Hamas raided Israel and killed in Israel, Israel did not get prior information, and as a result, it was killed by surprise. Another possibility is that there is something wrong with the current battle situation.
What is the most likely problem in the current war situation? We have seen the biggest confrontation in recent days that is Iran's retaliatory attack on Israel. So is it Iran's retaliatory attack on Israel, and the Israeli side has a problem with intelligence warning?
Which of these two cases is more likely?
Let's talk about the former one first, that is, when Hamas suddenly attacked Israel, the Israeli side made a mistake in intelligence work and did not issue an early warning. But it doesn't seem like this dude should be the responsibility. Because we see, Israel has a number of intelligence agencies, the most famous is the Mossad, the full name is the Israeli Intelligence and Special Missions Agency, this one is responsible for strategic intelligence. If it is said that Hamas raided Israel and did not get the information, the main responsibility should be the Mossad.
Then in addition to the Mossad, Israel also has two well-known intelligence agencies, one is called Simbet, which is translated as the Israeli Internal Security Service, and the other is called Oman, which is the unit where the old man who resigned this time worked, that is, the Israeli Military Intelligence Agency.
So what's the difference between the three? The Mossad reports directly to the Israeli Prime Minister's Office, and apparently focuses primarily on strategic intelligence. Simbert, on the other hand, reports to Israel's security cabinet, which is also more strategic and more domestic. Oman, on the other hand, reports to the Israeli Ministry of Defense. Therefore, when Hamas raided Israel, this is a strategic intelligence responsibility, and the Mossad should be the main responsibility.
And if there is a mistake in the intelligence related to Iran's retaliation attack on Israel, it is clear that Oman should be mainly responsible. From this analysis, the resignation of Aharon Haliwa this time is more likely to be a problem with the Israeli intelligence in Iran's retaliation for the attack on Israel.
So what exactly went wrong with the intelligence, I am afraid that it can at least show that in this retaliatory attack, Israel may not have suffered as small as advertised to the outside world, at least in terms of intelligence early warning. Therefore, the director of the military intelligence bureau resigned, and once there was a problem with the intelligence early warning, there would definitely be a problem with the follow-up operation.
In these years, what everyone says may not be true, especially in the warring situation, there are more false than true. Therefore, it is necessary to judge and analyze from other aspects of action. Then the sudden resignation of the head of the Israeli military intelligence provides everyone with a possibility of analysis and speculation.
