An IDF soldier filmed himself with hostage bodies and posted it on TikTok, prompting severe disciplinary actions and widespread rumors.
Hagari said that Iran manufactured and guided the Houthis of Yemen in acquiring and using the Samad-3 drone which was used in the attack.
The Shin Bet and the IDF have mapped out the Hamas terrorists involved in the massacre.
Likud party members claimed that the security system ignores the defense minister, thus he does not effectively manage the ongoing operation.
"It is not possible to rescue all the hostages in military operations," Hagari added.
Hagari said, “it is wrong to grasp on to a date which we then later will not be able to stand by.”
Iran-backed Hezbollah last week launched the largest volleys of rockets and drones yet in the eight months it has been exchanging fire with the Israeli military, in parallel with the Gaza war.
Hagari announced that the strike was conducted after concrete intelligence showed that terrorists hiding in the school were planning an imminent attack.
Minister-without-portfolio Benny Gantz said earlier on Thursday in a speech that he intends to submit a proposal to establish a state inquiry committee to investigate what happened on October 7.
The discovery of hostages’ bodies in Gaza highlighted the ongoing, coordinated efforts of Major General Nitzan Alon and Israeli forces to locate remaining hostages.
