The Chief of Staff of the Israeli military, Eyal Zamir, has ordered an independent investigation into the handling of Hamas' 'Jericho Wall' massacre plan. This decision comes after a committee sharply criticized the military's response to key intelligence warnings that preceded the October 7 attack. The investigation will examine the military's actions from the initial detection of the plan in 2018, through observed training activities by Hamas, to a crucial intelligence report submitted months before the assault. The inquiry is expected to be one of the most sensitive and comprehensive reviews since the outbreak of the war, aiming to clarify why early warnings were not acted upon and who was responsible for the decisions made in the years leading up to the tragedy.
