The IDF will be presenting State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman with its investigations into the military’s failures in the lead-up to the October 7 onslaught and on the day itself.

The IDF says it invited Englman to view the probes “as part of the recent dialogue with the comptroller, within the framework of the agreements that were formulated and the IDF’s cooperation with the comptroller’s office.”

The probes will be presented by senior officers involved in the investigations.
