The Israeli military has acknowledged a string of errors in its response to the deadly Hamas attacks last October, including low response times and disorganization.

According to AP News, the military has released the results of its first investigation into failures during the assault that triggered the war in Gaza.

It focused on the border community of Be’eri, where over 100 people were killed and more than 30 others taken hostage by Hamas.

AP adds that the military concluded that they were likely killed by Hamas militants, not Israeli shelling, though it was unclear how it reached that conclusion, and the report called for additional tests.

According to BBC News, Israel’s defence minister has called for a state inquiry into what led to the Hamas attacks on October 7th, 2023.
