Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi is expected to update the army on Thursday about the opening of the investigations. Halevi justified his decision and said that it is wrong to conduct an investigation while the IDF is engaged in a war in the southern arena against Hamas.

The identity of the team that will investigate Halevi's performance has not been published. The Chief of Staff is also criticized for continuing to promote his multi-year plan, which may be based on worldviews that were falsified on October 7 and not suit the needs of the IDF during war and the day after.
