Hundreds of terrorists held in Israel suspected of involvement in the October 7th massacre have yet to be interrogated about their roles, a Knesset committee was told Wednesday. Approximately 400 suspected militants have been questioned so far regarding the attack, but hundreds more, believed to have been directly involved, remain uninvestigated. Some of these suspects have been in Israeli custody for a considerable time.
Additional terrorists continue to be apprehended during operations in the Gaza Strip, raising further questions about their potential involvement in the October 7th events and the need for their interrogation.

MK Yulia Malinovsky urged officials to move beyond discussions and achieve concrete results, stating, "The people of Israel deserve answers." She emphasized the need for all officials to set aside personal grievances and disputes to address the gravity of the situation for the victims' families.
Committee Chairman Simcha Rothman highlighted broad political consensus on the issue, stating, "We are all working on this matter as one, without coalition or opposition." He affirmed Israel's commitment to seeking justice for those killed, declaring, "The State of Israel will not let this matter pass and will demand the blood of our brothers from our enemies."
