Nearly two years after the deadly attack on Israel led by Hamas, not a single suspect has been prosecuted or charged for direct involvement. Hundreds of Palestinians remain in custody, many held without trial or access to legal counsel, and the details of their cases are largely kept secret. Rights groups and families have raised concerns about harsh detention conditions and lack of transparency, while lawmakers and former prosecutors cite chaotic evidence collection and legal hurdles as reasons for the delay. Israel's parliament has taken initial steps to establish a special tribunal to try suspects, but it may be months before any cases move forward, and emergency provisions have extended detentions into 2026.
