The Israel Tax Authority announced $12.4 billion ($38.3B NIS) in war compensation has been paid to Israelis and businesses since the Oct. 7 Hamas attack.

The Israel Defense Forces published Sunday the findings of its investigation into the October 7 Hamas assault on the Zikim training base, revealing a desperate battle fought by junior commanders who saved over 100 unarmed recruits from capture or death.

An internal IDF report admits the army was unprepared for Hamas’s surprise attack, which killed over 1,200 people and led to mass kidnappings. Officials cited overconfidence and misjudging Hamas’s strength as key failures.
