Three senior officials in the Mossad espionage agency have resigned over decisions made by the organization’s new director, David Barnea, according to a Thursday report.
The resignations took place in the past few weeks, Channel 13 reported.
Barnea took over as director of the intelligence agency from Yossi Cohen in June.
The officials who left the agency were three of its most senior officials, holding the comparative rank of major-general in the military, the report said.
Those said to have quit include the head of the technology division, the head of operations and the head of the branch dealing with the anti-terror war. A fourth senior official is reportedly considering quitting as well.
The resignation of the officials was said to be directly linked to organizational decisions made by Barnea to divide up responsibilities in the spy agency and split existing branches.
