IDF is reviewing top officers over October 7 intelligence failures, leading to dismissals and debate over accountability.

IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir has initiated personal accountability reviews of senior military officers, including former intelligence chiefs and commanders, over failures preceding the October 7 Hamas attack. Several high-ranking officials, including Maj. Gen. (res.) Aharon Haliva and Brig. Gen. (res.) Yossi Shariel, did not attend meetings, while others, like Lt. Col. A., the former Gaza Division intelligence officer, were dismissed. Maj. Gen. Shlomi Binder received a reprimand but retained his post. The process, based on findings from the Turgeman Committee, aims to assign individual responsibility amid ongoing scrutiny of intelligence and command failures.
