JERUSALEM: Israel's military intelligence chief has resigned after taking responsibility for failures leading to the Hamas attack on Oct 7, the military said on Monday (Apr 22), as Israel carried out more shelli
Smoke rises over Rafah, where Israel has repeatedly vowed to send in ground troops despite international concern for civilians General Aharon Haliva is the first top Israel i official to step down for failing to prevent the Hamas attack, which triggered the war in Gaza and brought the government and military under intense scrutiny in Israel .
Gaza was hit by heavy shelling overnight, with strikes reported in several areas in the centre and south of the besieged territory, an AFP correspondent said on Monday. More than 1.5 million of the 2.4 million Palestinians in Gaza are estimated to have taken refuge in Rafah. However, thousands are believed to have headed north since Israel withdrew most of its troops from Gaza earlier this month.
Gaza's crossings and borders authority meanwhile said that 34 Palestinian detainees had been released from Israeli prison since Monday morning. Authority spokesman Hisham Adwan said some of the prisoners showed"signs of torture". The Israeli army said it had killed 10 militants in a three-day"counterterrorism" raid on Nur Shams, but residents in the camp gave a different account.Neighbours said troops told Jehad to leave his uncle's house.
Hamas's Oct 7 attack that triggered the Gaza war resulted in the deaths of 1,170 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on Israeli official figures.
