IDF admits it 'completely failed' with 'minimum' border security on October 7 attack

A report from Israel's military reveals failures in the response to the Oct. 7 Hamas attack, citing the underestimation of Hamas's capabilities and intentions, which left Israeli civilians unprotected.
The attack resulted in the deaths of 1,200 Israelis and triggered military action in Gaza, where at least 48,365 people have died, according to the Hamas-run Health Ministry.
The investigation found a culture of complacency within Israel's security establishment, which dismissed intelligence warnings and left defenses vulnerable.
Political pressure on Prime Minister Netanyahu has increased, with demands for an independent investigation into the military's decisions before the attack.
