Aharon Haliwa

Aharon Haliwa is a senior officer in the Israel Defense Forces, having served as the head of Military Intelligence (Aman). He has been involved in strategic military planning and intelligence assessments, particularly relating to threats from Hamas and other militant groups. Haliwa's leadership came under scrutiny during the recent investigation into intelligence failures leading up to the October 7 attacks, where it was reported that he received critical intelligence regarding Hamas's military plans but did not take adequate action to address the threat.
