An Israeli news station said that a senior official in the intelligence service (Mossad) submitted his resignation from his position, after disagreements with the head of the agency, David Barnea.
News Channel 13 said that the commander of the "Caesaria" unit responsible for special operations in the Mossad submitted his resignation due to differences of opinion with the head of the Mossad.
The names of officials and agents in the Mossad are not disclosed, due to their secret work. However, the station gave the outgoing leader a "B" code.
And she added, "Due to the difficulty of operating Israeli agents in countries around the world, the head of the Mossad called Barnea, the commander of Special Unit (B), and informed him that he intends to make very significant changes in the way the division operates."
Later, after Barnea realized that the commander of Unit B had not implemented the necessary changes, a charged meeting was held between the two, in which the head of the Mossad criticized the head of the division and his senior officials, saying: You have turned into a burden on the apparatus, and we are obligated to make the changes".
The Israeli station added, "After the conversation, (B) resigned from his position, then his deputy resigned, along with a number of clients."
Station 13 reported that Barnea appointed a new commander in place of "B", and received the green light to reconfigure the unit in question, and "rearrange its staff in light of technological development."
The Mossad is an intelligence agency that specializes in operating outside Israel.
Last November, Israeli media said that 3 senior Mossad officials submitted their resignations from the agency, after differences of opinion with Barnea.
Barnea assumed his duties in the middle of last year.
