Israel's military admits failure to prevent Hamas attack

Israel's military has acknowledged a "complete failure" in preventing the October 7 Hamas attack, citing overconfidence and misjudgments. The internal report highlights the attack's severity, resulting in over 1,200 Israeli deaths and significant casualties in Gaza. Ceasefire talks are ongoing in Cairo as the initial truce phase nears its deadline. Hamas has released 25 hostages, while Israel is set to free around 1,900 Palestinian detainees. Negotiations involve Israeli, Qatari, and U.S. officials. Despite the truce, Prime Minister Netanyahu faces criticism over his war management. Of the 251 hostages taken, 58 remain in Gaza, with 34 confirmed dead. The conflict has severely impacted Gaza, with extensive destruction and widespread displacement reported.
