The IDF Chief of Staff, Herzi Halevi, rejected the State Comptroller's request to provide internal military documents for a probe into the state's failures that enabled the October 7 war. He expressed concerns that such inquiries would divert the IDF's attention from the ongoing war. Following political criticism, Halevi reportedly froze the formation of an outside investigative team to examine the army's operational failures leading up to the October 7 onslaught. The State Comptroller, Matanyahu Englman, dismissed Halevi's objections to the probe into the IDF's October 7 failures, highlighting tension between the IDF and the government. Additionally, the Mossad and Shin Bet denied claims linking a protest leader with Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, while the protest leader demanded a retraction of the 'delusional conspiracy' of a Mossad meeting.
