Yossi Sariel, the commander of Israel's military surveillance agency Unit 8200, announced his resignation, taking responsibility for the agency's failures in the deadly October 7 attacks.
In an emotional resignation letter, Sariel expressed that he fell short of expectations from himself, his subordinates, and the citizens of Israel, acknowledging his responsibilities.
Sariel's departure follows a wave of resignations among Israeli defense officials attributed to intelligence failures during the Hamas-led assault, where nearly 1,200 people were killed.
Unit 8200, likened to the US National Security Agency, faced intense scrutiny post-assault for its intelligence failures relating to one of Israel's most significant security lapses.
