Brigadier General Yossi Sariel, the commander of Israel's 8200 intelligence unit, is set to resign due to his perceived failure to prevent Hamas' October 7 attack, which was the deadliest on Jews since the Holocaust. In his resignation letter, Sariel takes personal responsibility for the intelligence and operational failure, stating that he did not fulfill the task expected of him.

    1. The officer will conclude his role in the near future.

    1. I hold myself and everyone on this. I think we have to examine how it happened. What was the intelligence failure?
    2. The government's first responsibility is to protect the people. That's the ultimate enveloping responsibility. People weren't protected. We have to admit that.

    1. Despite a series of actions we carried out, we weren't able to create a sufficient warning that would allow the attack to be thwarted.

    Unit 8200
    1. The responsibility for 8200's part in the intelligence and operational failure falls squarely on me.
    2. In the years before and months before, as well as on October 7 itself, we all failed as a political and operational system in being unable to connect the dots to see the full picture and prepare to face the threat.
    3. I did not fulfil the task I expected of myself, as expected of me by my subordinates and commanders and as expected of me by the citizens of the country that I love so much.
