Survivors of Kibbutz Be’eri massacre hear results of IDF investigation
The survivors of Hamas' Oct. 7 massacre at Kibbutz Be’eri heard for the first time Thursday the results of an Israel Defense Forces investigation into the failed response to the attack. Over 100 people were killed at Kibbutz Be’eri and many were taken hostage.
The kibbutz members said in a statement that while the IDF's probe was "thorough," they still don’t have "satisfactory" answers to "some critical questions."
They said their questions include: "Why did not the many military forces who gathered at the gate enter the kibbutz for many hours, when the kibbutz was burning and its residents were crying for help? What caused the intelligence failure that enabled the Hamas invasion plan, and how was the border fence breached without an immediate response from the IDF?"
The kibbutz members said, "most importantly," they demand the return of the hostages.
