New details have emerged from the investigation into the events of October 7, revealing confusion and a lack of decisive action among military leadership in the hours leading up to the attack. Despite early warning signs and multiple high-level consultations, key directives to increase readiness were either not implemented or reversed, with concerns about provoking the enemy cited as a reason for restraint. The investigation highlights that several proposed measures, such as deploying intelligence assets and reinforcing air defenses, were not carried out, contributing to the collapse of the air-defense system at the onset of the assault. Even after the attack began, leadership focused on incorrect threat assessments, and critical vulnerabilities in both naval and aerial defenses were exploited by the attackers.
