An internal investigation by the Israeli military found serious failures surrounding a fatal friendly fire incident in Gaza, leading to dismissals. The probe identified significant shortcomings in the conduct of officers overseeing the sniper involved in the shooting.

According to the findings, there were inadequate pre-mission briefings and what investigators believe were missing required firing approvals. The report concluded that several mandatory preliminary procedures at the sniper's position were not carried out.

Investigators determined that these lapses in protocol and oversight may have contributed to the deadly outcome, prompting disciplinary action against those responsible.
