Israel Military Chief Resigns Amid Lebanon War Probe (RTTNews) - The chief of Israel's armed forces, Lt Gen Dan Halutz, has tendered his resignation after military inquiries pinned responsibility on him for the setbacks in last year's Lebanon war on account of poor planning, poor strategy and poor execution. A military spokeswoman said Halutz, told Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Defense Minister Amir Peretz that he was quitting "as the investigations have run their course." "With the echoes of battle having faded, I have decided to act on my responsibility," the spokeswoman quoted Halutz as saying in his resignation letter. A retired Israeli general, Dan Shomron, who handed a part of the report last month on the findings of a probe into conduct of the war, criticized Israeli military commanders for poor planning, poor strategy and poor execution during the war but stopped short of calling for Halutz's resignation. In particular, Gen Halutz is faulted for relying too much on air power and waiting too long to send in ground troops and when they were finally sent in, many complained of being poorly equipped. The July-August military offensive on Lebanese Hezbollah guerrillas drove them from Israel's northern border but failed to free two Israeli soldiers captured in a cross-border raid last July. +++ -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
