IDF intelligence chief resigns; independent report on UNRWA released

==========

Maj. Gen. Aharon Haliva, the intelligence chief for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), has announced his resignation and retirement over the Oct. 7 Hamas attack. An independent report on the U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) found that the agency is in need of reforms but Israel has yet to substantiate its claims of Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad members within UNRWA. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed concern over potential U.S. funding restrictions against Netzah Yehuda, an ultra-Orthodox military unit accused of human rights violations in the occupied West Bank. The Gaza Health Ministry reports that at least 34,151 people have been killed and 77,084 injured in Gaza since the war began. Israel estimates that about 1,200 people were killed in Hamas's Oct. 7 attack, including over 300 soldiers.
