IDF Ends Service of Gaza Division Intelligence Officer Over October 7 Failures The IDF has decided to terminate the service of the lieutenant colonel who served as the Gaza Division's intelligence officer during the October 7 massacre. The military said the decision followed an extensive administrative process examining professional failures and his command responsibility for events leading up to October 7. The officer previously challenged the process in court, but his petition was rejected in June, with the court ruling that the IDF acted within its authority. The officer can still appeal the decision to the IDF Chief of Staff. Photo: Senior IDF officers. For illustration.
