Israel releases most of its investigation of what happened leading up to and on Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas carried out a series brutal surprise attacks.

According to the IDF’s assessment, 5,000-5,600 militants infiltrated Israel in three waves. Meanwhile, 4,696 rockets and mortars were fired towards Israel. The attacks left 829 Israeli civilians, 76 foreign nationals and 415 security personnel dead. Additionally, 251 hostages were taken into the Gaza Strip.
"The fundamental failure was a result of failure to understand Hamas's intentions and readiness for a wide-scale surprise attack," IDF senior officials say in the report.
