Herzog: Probe into Oct. 7 attack on Nahal Oz base should be published in ‘full, comprehensive fashion’

On the second day of his tour of Gaza border communities to mark a year since the October 7 attacks, President Isaac Herzog calls for the release of the full investigation into the attack on the Nahal Oz base, where 15 surveillance soldiers were killed and six were taken hostage on October 7.

In total, 66 troops were killed in the assault on the base.

“In this place, where the nation of Israel went through one of its most dramatic and difficult days on the seventh of October, a year ago,” he tells soldiers at the base, “there was a terrible massacre during and after that. We lost many of our beloved sons and daughters in battles, whom we will remember forever.”

“I hope deeply that the investigation will be published in a full, comprehensive fashion,” Herzog continues, “in order to shed light on what happened. It will not change the reality, but it is good to know the truth so that we can learn lessons.”

Herzog visited kibbutzim Alumim, Kfar Aza, and Nahal Oz earlier in the morning.
