High-ranking members of the Israeli military’s Spokesperson’s Unit have reportedly resigned as the regime’s devastating war on Gaza continues with no end in sight.
Israel’s Channel 14 reported on Monday that the unit’s head Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari had stepped down from his position.
It said among the resignees were the second man in Hagari’s team Colonel Butbul, as well as Colonel Moran Katz, and the International Spokesperson for the Israeli military Lieutenant Richard Hecht.
The mass resignations are due to the officers’ protest over operational and personal matters, the report said.
The “unusual” move during wartime reflects a state of disturbance within the Israeli military’s Spokesperson’s Unit, it added.
Recently, Israeli minister of military affairs Yoav Gallant admitted that the regime’s army is “paying a very high price” in its aggression against Gaza.
Israel waged its US-backed genocidal war on the besieged Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian Hamas resistance group carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the usurping entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.
However, five months into the offensive, the Tel Aviv regime has failed to achieve its declared objectives and is getting bogged down deeper in the Gaza quagmire.
Israel has so far killed at least 30,410 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 71,700 others.
