Pakistan, Feb. 28 -- Israel's military has released its first official assessment of the failures that led to its inability to prevent Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack, which ultimately sparked the ongoing Gaza war.

The 19-page report acknowledges that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) "failed in its mission to protect Israeli civilians". While much of the information was already known, the report formally lays out how the military misjudged Hamas's intentions and underestimated its capabilities.

While the report contains no groundbreaking revelations, it offers a stark acknowledgment of the military's miscalculations and strategic oversights in the lead-up to one of Israel's deadliest attacks.
