State comptroller accuses IDF of 'intimidating' officers testifying in Oct. 7 probe

State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman accuses the IDF of 'intimidating' officers testifying in the investigation into the October 7 Hamas invasion. Englman claims that the military has clandestinely recorded interviews and briefed officers on how to answer questions, raising suspicions of non-cooperation. Critics express concern that the probe could seek to minimize political responsibility for the devastating attack. The IDF is conducting its own investigations into its failings before and during the assault. The state comptroller warns that if the IDF does not remove obstacles to the investigation, witnesses will be summoned through the force of the 1958 State Comptroller Law.
