Defense Minister Israel Katz has been presented with two internal investigations conducted by the Israeli military into the October 7, 2023 onslaught. The probes focus on major events and gaps discovered during the attack, with the aim of implementing necessary changes immediately. Katz has ordered the IDF to complete all investigations by the end of January and has frozen promotions among top military brass until then. The IDF Chief of Staff has ordered the military to accelerate the timetables of its probes. The government has refused to appoint a state commission of inquiry and opposes any probes that could include political failures surrounding the attack.
