The State Comptroller's Office has distributed draft findings from its investigation into the Nova massacre to several former senior officials, according to Channel 12. The probe is part of a broader effort to examine the events surrounding the Hamas-led attack on October 7, 2023, which resulted in the deaths of over 300 people at the Nova festival and the taking of hostages. The investigations have sparked controversy, with critics calling for a formal state commission of inquiry and questioning the qualifications of State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman, who was appointed under the current government. Some former officials, including former military and police leaders, reportedly received the drafts before being interviewed, prompting protests. The Comptroller's Office stated that these individuals would be allowed to provide testimony after reviewing the documents. Channel 12 did not disclose the specific contents of the draft findings.
