Israeli Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi Resigns

Israeli Army Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi resigns from office amidst recriminations in the Israeli military force about the conduct of the Israeli war on Gaza.

The news announcement is breaking on the social media. Halevi who holds the rank of Lieutenant General will officially resign as of 6 March 2025 and has informed Defense Minister Israel Katz of his decision.

His decision to quit as army boss follows a string of resignations by rank officers over the way the Israeli war on Gaza was being conducted and which it lasted 15 months.

Also with his resignations comes the announcement of the Southern Command Yaron Finkelman who says he wants to resign from his post.

Halevi he said he is resigning because he wants to take responsibility over the army’s security failure over the 7 October, 2023 debacle in which Hamas fighters enroaded the fence surrounding Gaza and captured about 250 Israeli hostages and in which up to 1200 people were killed.

Over the past months Halevi said he would resign but kept going on because of the bloody war in which over 45,000 Palestinians were killed in Gaza and over 96,000 wounded.

Halevi leaves the army with an arrest warrant on his head together with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. It was issued against them back in November 2024 for his atrocities in Gaza.

The war on Gaza, described as a genocide and ethnic cleansing created much tension within the Israeli rank-and-file over the conduct of the war but fell well short of a rebellion.

Suppressed News, an alternative media website is highlighting:

Hebrew Media is reporting a ‘black Saturday’. More than 7 Israeli soldiers killed and more than 11 injured. This is although, officially the number that is announced so far is 4 killed and 3 injured.

A patrol led by the deputy commander of the “Nahal” Brigade was traveling down a side street in an area that the Israeli army described as “cleared,” meaning that the Palestinian resistance there had been completely eliminated but clearly it wasn’t.

The latest deadly incident occurred in Beit Hanoon, at the northernmost tip of the Gaza Strip and a short distance from the border overlooking Israeli settlements.

A powerful IED, manufactured by the resistance using remnants of Israeli military equipment, detonated inside one of the vehicles, killing three soldiers and officers who were inside.

Following this, Palestinian resistance fighters completed the mission by directly firing on the convoy to confirm the casualties, as well as on the rescue team, before reportedly withdrawing from the area through a tunnel.

Billionaire Elon Musk, in a conversation with Alice Weidel, co-leader of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, called for treating Gaza after the Israeli genocide the same way Japan and Germany were treated after World War II.

He stated that many steps should be taken to “protect Israel,” one of which is to fix the education system in Gaza so that Palestinian children will be normalized with the Israeli occupation.

Musk emphasized rebuilding Gaza after the war, just like the United States did with Germany and Japan after they were defeated in World War II, which turned them into allies.

The Southern Military Zone on Friday evening thwarted a drug smuggling attempt involving a drone along the western frontier within its area of responsibility.

The Border Guards, in cooperation with military security agencies and the Anti-Narcotics Department, applied the rules of engagement after detecting and tracking the drone and brought it down inside Jordanian territory, according to a military source from the General Command of the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF).

An army statement stressed that JAF remains committed to utilising its various capabilities and resources to prevent all forms of infiltration and smuggling, ensuring the security and stability of the Kingdom.

According to a recent statement to The Jordan Times, the Military Media Directorate said that there has been a noticeable shift in smuggling activities towards the southern borders of the Kingdom.

“The reasons behind this shift are multifaceted, rooted in a combination of rigorous security measures, regional instability, and the ingenuity of the criminal networks involved in drug trafficking,” the directorate added.

“In response to this evolving threat, the JAF has deployed a combination of high-tech solutions and strategic military initiatives, including the use of advanced surveillance technologies such as drones and satellite systems to monitor remote border areas, allowing the military to detect smuggling attempts in real time.”
