An internal investigation by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has found significant shortcomings in its response to the Hamas terror attacks on October 7, particularly in the case of the Be’eri kibbutz, one of the hardest-hit communities. The inquiry revealed a delayed and disorganized military response, leading to the deaths of 101 residents and the abduction of another 32 people. In light of these findings, Israel’s Defense Minister has called for a national inquiry into the attack and the government’s response. The report has sparked discussions on the IDF’s preparedness, the actions of political leaders, and the broader implications for those affected by the attacks.
