Israeli army admits failure to prevent Hamas attack

An Israeli army investigation has revealed a "complete failure" to prevent the October 7 Hamas attack, which resulted in over 1,139 Israeli deaths. The army admitted it underestimated Hamas and lacked military preparation due to a false perception of the group's intentions. The probe highlighted that Israel focused on other threats, like Hezbollah, and relied too much on intelligence and defensive measures. This led to being caught off guard during the attack, which involved thousands of Hamas fighters infiltrating Israel in waves. Calls for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's resignation have intensified following the report. Opposition leader Yair Lapid urged for an official commission to investigate the attack, emphasizing the need for accountability within the government.
