IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi together with reservists, Khirbet Akhza'a, Gaza. December 31, 2023/IDF Spokesperson
IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevy assembled a team to investigate the October 7 failure. The team will be headed by former IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. (res.) Shaul Mofaz, former head of Military Intelligence, Maj. Gen. (res.) Zeevi Farkas, and former Southern Command commander Maj. Gen. (res.) Sami Turgeman. The IDF spokesperson declined to comment on the publication.
A source familiar with the details said there was criticism of the composition of the committee. "The chief of staff's decision to appoint team leaders in this way is controversial. More professionals are needed from other fields," the source said. "His decision reduces responsibility. It is believed that the chief of staff will have no choice but to appoint former senior officers as well."
