The Defense Ministry says it is carrying out activities to clear explosives from an area of the Golan Heights near the Syrian border. IDF probes into the failures on October 7, 2023 reveal that the attack came as a surprise with no intelligence warning, and the IDF had far fewer forces and minimal capabilities available. The reports also highlight the heroism of Kfar Aza resident Brig. Gen. Yisrael Shomer, who fought off terrorists with a kitchen knife before securing a weapon and killing 20.
