 Yoav Galant said a judge-led inquiry was needed to identify how Hamas had grown in strength and gained the capacity to carry out its marauding attacks last autumn. Mr Galant called for the national inquiry after the Israeli army had briefed relatives of the 101 people killed at Kibbutz Berri on October 7. He said all in the military had failed to protect their citizens and must now rebuild trust so that it can continue its mission.
