Several high-ranking officials have quit the unit of Israeli army spokesperson, Daniel Hagari, over the ongoing war on Gaza, according to local media reports on Sunday.

"The second-in-command in Daniel Hagari's team, Moran Katz, along with many high-ranking officials have submitted their resignations in light of the Gaza conflict," Anadolu news agency reported, citing Israel's Channel 14.

"The retiring officials also include Gen. Richard Heshit, the Israeli army's spokesperson for foreign media affairs," the channel said.

Israeli reports said the resignations were seen as a reflection of dissent among officers concerning both operational and personal matters.

Recent media reports highlighted significant disagreements between the government and the military over the war and post-war strategy for Gaza.

Reports said that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision regarding a ground operation in Rafah had caused a major rift within the military.

Israel began a relentless and indiscriminate campaign on the strip on 7 October, killing at least 30,400 people - mostly women and children, and injuring over 71,700 others.

The war has displaced more than 85 percent of Palestinians in Gaza - approximately 1.9 people, and destroyed infrastructure, civilian buildings, hospitals and schools, according to the UN.

Israel has also imposed a complete siege on the strip, causing an acute shortage of essentials including food, clear water, medicine and fuel.
