Israel's Lebanon war general quits

[bemildred]

"The northern command Major-General Udi Adam requested this morning to resign his position in the near future," an army statement said on Wednesday.

"The chief of staff has accepted Adam's request and he will be replaced in accordance with IDF procedures."

Local media reports said Adam tendered his resignation because of differences with army chief of staff Dan Halutz over the conduct of the 34-day offensive on Hezbollah, which ended under a UN-brokered ceasefire on August 14.

Some Israeli military affairs commentators had questioned whether Adam, a tank officer, had been the right choice to head the Northern Command and lead a campaign that relied largely on air power, artillery and infantry.
