The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has initiated an internal review of its war operations, even as it awaits the formation of an official inquiry commission for the October 7th failures. Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir has established over ten investigation teams, each led by a major general, to examine the conduct and operational execution during the recent conflicts. These teams are tasked with presenting insights and lessons learned to the Chief of Staff within three to four months, aiming to enhance the military's effectiveness in anticipation of potential future hostilities.
Meanwhile, Yisrael Beiteinu party chairman Gadi Eisenkot has urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to exercise restraint regarding potential military actions against Iran. Eisenkot, who has been tasked with forming the next government, advised against non-urgent operations that could be postponed until a new government is sworn in, warning that such actions could undermine public trust in state institutions. He also requested an update on security matters from Netanyahu, noting that he had not yet received a formal briefing, despite the Prime Minister reportedly updating the opposition leader.
Eisenkot further petitioned the Attorney General, Gali Baharav-Miara, to examine the authority of an interim government in making critical security decisions. He emphasized that as the designated mandate holder for forming the next government, he should receive comprehensive and ongoing security and intelligence updates.
In separate international news, Saudi Arabia reported intercepting two cruise missiles aimed at its western region, while the Houthis claimed responsibility for attacking King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh with three cruise missiles. Additionally, a suspected antisemitic incident occurred in Montreal, Canada, where a Jewish-owned restaurant was attacked two days after a pizzeria was vandalized.
