says Major General Udi Adam - the head of the army's Northern Command
- has announced his resignation.

A military statement Wednesday, said General Adam has asked to leave
his post "as soon as possible," and the chief of staff has accepted
the request to begin the process of his replacement.

Adam was widely expected to leave the army after he was pushed aside
near the end of the 34-day war against Hezbollah guerrillas in
Lebanon. He was replaced by another general as "coordinator of
operations in Lebanon."

Israeli media say Adam had several disagreements with the army chief,
Lieutenant General Dan Halutz, over the conduct of the war.
