The former IDF Intelligence Directorate's Operations chief, Brig.-Gen. "G" will leave his role within the Mossad "in an orderly manner," the Prime Minister's Office announced on Monday.
IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir expelled “G” following Maj.-Gen. (res.) Sammy Turgeman's probe into the October 7 massacre.
"G," who was serving in an unspecified role with the Mossad during the past several months while also remaining in his IDF role, will retire from the IDF, but continue serving in reserve duty, the PMO confirmed.
Mossad falls under the PMO, with its director, David Barnea, reporting directly to the prime minister.
Barnea did not fire "G" from his role in Mossad; he voluntarily stepped down from it.
Zamir issues penalties to senior IDF staff over October 7 failures
These events follow Zamir's issuing of the first official penalties to commanders over failures that occurred during Hamas’s October 7 massacre.
Following this, Defense Minister Israel Katz called for the Defense Ministry Comptroller Brig.-Gen. (res.) Yair Volansky to investigate Turgeman's report, which led to clashes between Katz and Zamir.
