On Thursday, the Israeli military and State Comptroller agreed on an outline for the initial phase of the audit into the events of October 7 and the circumstances leading up to them within the Israel Defense Forces.
“This framework builds upon the agreements reached in November 2024, based on which dozens of reviews have been conducted within the IDF in recent months, covering 70 percent of the topics,” IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir and State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman said in a joint statement.
Englman’s probe will take operational needs and the dynamic security situation while Zamir promised that all of the army’s related investigations and documents will be transferred to the comptroller’s office by the end of April.
The State Comptroller, also known as the state ombudsman, periodically releases reports auditing Israeli preparedness and the effectiveness of government policies.
