Israeli Channel 12 reported that Defense Minister Yoav Gallant ordered a review of the internal investigation conducted by the army regarding the October 7, 2023 attack, following the dismissal of several heads of reserve security agencies.
The channel mentioned that Gallant has frozen appointments in the Israeli army for a month and demanded a reconsideration of the conclusions of the Turjeman Committee.
The Turjeman Committee played a role in examining the investigations conducted regarding the war, but it faced severe criticism from senior circles in the Israeli army.
Earlier, the Israeli army radio reported that Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir decided to dismiss several heads of reserve security agencies for their failure during the events of October 7.
According to the radio, Zamir dismissed the former head of military intelligence, the former head of operational intelligence, the former commander of the Southern Command, the former reserve commander of Unit 8200, the former commander of the Gaza Division, the former chief of staff of the Southern Command, and the former commander of the northern brigade in the Gaza Division.
The newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth described what happened as a shock in the Israeli army, as Zamir personally held several officers accountable, noting that Zamir's decisions were made following the recommendations of the Turjeman Committee.
According to the newspaper, these steps provoke intense internal debate within former and current military circles, amid skepticism from senior officers regarding whether the measures target a specific group of officials while exempting others.
The former officials had been transferred to reserve service after resigning from their positions earlier due to the "Storm of Al-Aqsa" battle launched by the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), against the settlements surrounding Gaza and capturing several occupation soldiers.
Gallant freezes appointments in the Israeli army for a month and demands a reconsideration of the conclusions of the Turjeman Committee.
