IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi confirms the military has begun to investigate its actions amid the war in the Gaza Strip, although he does not elaborate on the scope of the probes.
“Why have we not yet investigated? We are in a very intense war, with attention given to many arenas,” Halevi says during a conference summarizing recent Israeli Air Force activity.
“An investigation requires time, an investigation requires inquiries, and we all understand that difficult investigations also require emotional space. They need to be done in the right way. And that is why we waited until now,” he says.
“On the other hand, our intention is very clear. To explore, learn, and dive to the bottom of the well, and leave no stone unturned. We want to learn, understand what worked, understand what didn’t work, and what we could have done differently. And in a very simple sentence, to be better,” Halevi adds.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
