Israel's army acknowledged its 'complete failure' in the 7 October 2023 Hamas attack, admitting it underestimated the group's capabilities. An investigation revealed that the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) failed to protect civilians and misjudged Hamas' intentions. The attack resulted in around 1,200 deaths and has led to a prolonged war in Gaza. The military's chief of staff, Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi, took responsibility for the failures, and there are calls for a broader inquiry into the political decisions leading up to the attack.
