Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet tomorrow for the first time with the families of the IDF observation soldiers who were killed on October 7 when Hamas terrorists overran their Nahal Oz base on the Gaza border.
The meeting will take place in his office in Jerusalem.
The meeting comes after the families created a forum called “Their Voices” to lobby for an inquiry into the events at the base. They are also asking for the IDF to release the recordings of their daughters speaking over the radio during their final shifts.
The attack on the Nahal Oz base, less than a kilometer from the Gaza border, came at the start of the assault carried out by Hamas, in which terrorists killed some 1,200 people and seized 251 hostages.
During the attack on the base, 15 IDF surveillance soldiers were killed and six were taken hostage. In total, 66 soldiers were killed in the assault on the base.
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.
