ALBAWABA - The Israeli military will reveal its early findings on its inability to stop Hamas' Al-Qassam Brigades' surprise assault during Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7, 2023. The incident's probe will begin with the report, which will be delivered to Defense Minister Yoav Gallant today.
Yedioth Ahronoth said the research focuses on Israel's operation readiness and Hamas' pre-war preparation. The military is slowly sending records and proof to the Ministry of Defense. The results try to explain how Israeli intelligence missed such a large-scale strike.
Al Jazeera stated that the Israeli army and Gallant's office are at odds over the investigation's timeliness. Gallant wants the probes finished by January to learn from the occurrences. IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi ordered the military to speed up its evaluation this week to meet the deadline.
Meanwhile, Israeli Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara has urged Netanyahu's administration to form an investigating committee. Netanyahu has postponed creating such a committee, citing the Gaza war.
Hamas and other Palestinian groups attacked Israeli military positions and settlements around Gaza in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. Hamas said the attack would break Israel's 18-year siege of Gaza and prevent it from retaking Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Al Jazeera showed Israel's deadly reaction to the incident. Over 153,000 Palestinians have been killed or wounded since October 7, with major Gaza damage. Global and regional players have demanded responsibility for this humanitarian tragedy.
The incident has ignited Israel's political and security elites' blame game. Netanyahu denies getting pre-attack warnings, although Israeli military intelligence has confirmed several mistakes. Instead, he said security officials saw no urgent Gaza threats.
