IDF chief: I regarded Gaza as least worrying border; I know victims asked ‘Where’s the IDF?’
The outgoing head of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Herzi Halevi, acknowledged significant intelligence and operational failures that allowed Hamas to launch a surprise attack on October 7, 2023, resulting in around 1,200 deaths and 251 hostages. Halevi admitted that the IDF underestimated Hamas's capabilities and failed to raise the alert level despite concerning intelligence signals.

Halevi and Southern Command Chief Yaron Finkelman detailed their misjudgments during a meeting with local council leaders, emphasizing that the IDF's assessments were based on incorrect conclusions about the threat from Gaza. They expressed regret over their inability to act on intelligence that could have prevented the attack, acknowledging their responsibility for the tragic outcomes.
