Israel’s defence minister has frozen all appointments in the military for the coming month and called for further investigations into the failures surrounding Hamas’s October 7 2023 attack, intensifying the domestic blame game over the worst security failure in the country’s history.

The Israeli military has carried out airstrikes in southern Lebanon, targeting what it says are Hezbollah infrastructures.

The IDF failed in its primary mission on October 7th — to protect the civilians of the State of Israel,” Israeli military chief of staff Eyal Zamir said, referring to the Israel Defense Forces.

Israel's military announced the dismissal of three generals and disciplinary actions against several other senior officers over their failure to prevent the October 2023 assault by Hamas, the deadliest attack in the country's history.
