IDF asks officers to come forward if they have information to help Oct. 7 investigation

The IDF is calling on officers who think they have information that may help the military’s investigations into the October 7, 2023, onslaught, to come forward before the probes are concluded and presented to the public.

In a letter sent to commanders across the army, the IDF says that it is preparing to conclude the investigations, which began in March 2024 amid the fighting.

The probes will be presented to the political establishment, bereaved families, and the public once they are concluded.

“In this type of process, given the magnitude of the event and the complexity of the circumstances, we may not have been able to obtain all the information required to put the puzzle together in its entirety, and it is even possible that in some cases corrections and additions will be required,” the letter says.

The military says it is “extremely important to reach truthful investigations, to learn and improve from them, and to strengthen trust in the IDF.”

Therefore, the IDF says it is calling on “commanders who believe they can complete and improve the investigations and its results” to contact the relevant officers and provide the information.
