The moves follow an external review finding systemic failures despite available intelligence.

Overview

  • Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir dismissed Maj. Gen. Oded Basiuk from reserve duty over his role during the Oct. 7 failures.
  • Zamir decided to dismiss Lieutenant Colonel A., the Gaza Division intelligence officer who rejected repeated pre-attack warnings from an NCO.
  • Personal meetings with senior commanders began Sunday to deliver conclusions and determine individual command measures.
  • Officers summoned include Air Force chief Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar, Navy chief Vice Adm. David Sa’ar Salama, Military Intelligence chief Maj. Gen. Shlomi Binder, and former Southern Command chief Maj. Gen. Yaron Finkelman.
  • The IDF said it will publish a fuller list of officers and sanctions once the meetings conclude, with some sessions deferred due to scheduling conflicts.
