BBC World Service - Newshour, Head of Israeli military intelligence resigns

Major General Aharon Haliva resigned over security failures on October 7th

Major General Aharon Haliva is the first senior figure to step down over the Hamas attack on October 7th.

The head of Israel's military intelligence has resigned over his role in failing to stop the Hamas attacks on October the seventh. Aharon Haliva is the highest-ranking official to step down over the assault, in which about twelve hundred people were killed and more than two hundred others abducted. He said his department had not lived up to the task it was entrusted with.  

Also in the programme: we look at the impact of Hindu nationalism with our Newshour's correspondent Jamie Coomarasamy reporting from the city of Mathura, in Uttar Pradesh; and we hear why senior officials in Milan want to ban afterhours ice-cream.
