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.
