Israeli Defense Army Chief of Staff Zamil said on October 7, 2023, the Israeli Defense Army failed to fulfill its mission of protecting the country and its people, and the Israeli Army was fully responsible for this.
Zamir said that the Israeli army is investigating the events of that day and "the whole war." This is a responsibility to the detainees, the victims, the wounded and Israel as a whole.
On October 7, 2023, the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) raided military and civilian targets in Israel from the Gaza Strip, resulting in the death of about 1,200 people, and about 250 people were brought back to the Gaza Strip by Hamas and other Palestinian armed personnel for detention. Hamas issued a statement on the same day announcing a new round of military action against Israel and stating that it had fired at least 5,000 rockets into Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu immediately declared Israel into a "state of war". The Israeli army began air strikes on the Gaza Strip. A new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict broke out. (Headquarters reporter Zhou Xuan)
