Defense Minister Israel Katz has ordered Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi to fully cooperate with the state comptroller's investigation into the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack. The order comes after the state comptroller accused the military of intimidating senior officers who gave testimony in the investigation. The IDF has been resistant to the probe, but was compelled by the High Court to cooperate. The comptroller's investigation is currently the only state-sanctioned comprehensive investigation into the attack, which resulted in the deaths of 1,200 people and the taking of 251 hostages.
