IDF Report Reveals Failures in Oct. 7 Kibbutz Attack

The investigation highlights strategic and tactical shortcomings that left residents of Kibbutz Be'eri vulnerable during the Hamas assault.

The IDF's preliminary report on the Oct. 7 attack found significant delays in military response to Kibbutz Be'eri.
For over seven hours, residents and a small security team faced hundreds of terrorists with no IDF reinforcements.
The military was unprepared for a large-scale, coordinated assault, leading to critical defensive lapses.
Calls for accountability are growing, with demands for an independent inquiry into the leadership's role.
Critics argue the government ignored prior intelligence warnings and failed to protect the community.
