The State Comptroller's Office has submitted a statement to the High Court of Justice, asserting its authority to investigate the military failures surrounding the October 7, 2023, attack led by Hamas. This move comes in response to opposition from the Military Defense Unit, which has sought to prevent the comptroller from examining the military's role in the events. While the comptroller has already reviewed issues related to civilian preparedness and aid, the military has resisted further scrutiny. The comptroller emphasized its commitment to uncovering the truth for the victims, hostages, and citizens affected by the attack. However, critics argue that the comptroller may not have the mandate to probe military matters and have questioned the impartiality of the current officeholder.
