| IDF Brig.-Gen. Gal Hirsch handed in his resignation from the IDF this morning, in light of a investigative report assigning him responsibility for the Hizbullah kidnapping of two soldiers. Hirsch, the commander of the Galilee Formation, informed Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Dan Halutz of his decision this morning (Sunday), just before an IDF investigative team headed by Maj.-Gen. (ret.) Doron Almog was to recommend HirschÂ’s dismissal. Almog is to present a harsh report to the IDF General Staff today on the events leading up to the abduction of IDF soldiers Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser this past July. |
