Jerusalem - A high-ranking operations officer in Israel's Mossad intelligence agency has resigned following the arrest of two suspected Israeli spies in Cyprus earlier this month, an Israeli newspaper said yesterday.
The report in the Ha'aretz daily said the Mossad chief, Mr Efraim Halevy, had accepted the resignation of the official, identified only as "Yud", the Hebrew first letter of his name. The spokesman of the Prime Minister, Mr Benjamin Netanyahu, has declined to comment.
