An inquiry by the Israeli Defence Force has found that the Hamas October 7 attacks were 'one of the greatest failures' in the history of the nation's military. The attacks on October 7 2023 saw thousands of Hamas fighters storm into southern Israel where they killed 1,320 Israelis and took a further 251 hostage. Now a damning internal investigation into the events has claimed the inability to prevent the attacks were a 'complete failure' of the Israeli security and the result of years of planning and deception by Hamas.
