<h1>Military accountability: senior commanders resign over security failures while West Bank operations continue outside the Gaza ceasefire.</h1> The head of the Israeli military and the Southern Command resigned citing security and intelligence failures tied to the October 7 attack, a development likely to fuel calls for a public inquiry. Concurrently, Israel launched a major military operation in Jenin in the occupied West Bank, where the Gaza ceasefire does not apply, producing multiple fatalities and drawing condemnation from Palestinian groups. The ceasefire framework governing hostage-prisoner exchanges began phased releases and has triggered domestic political rifts within the governing coalition.
