**** Updated with full critique ****: NEW IOF OCTOBER 7 KIBBUTZ ATTACK REPORT IS RIDDLED WITH HOLES, NOT BULLETS!!!
'14 Kibbutz Members vs. 250 Hamas Terrorists | Israeli Army Investigation Into October 7 Attack on Kfar Azza Presented to Residents'
This IOF Report is - as fully expected - literally riddled with highly serious lies!!!
I will break it down later today…
14 Kibbutz Members vs. 250 Hamas Terrorists | Israeli Army Investigation Into October 7 Attack on Kfar Azza Presented to Residents
There is no video, nor witness evidence, that there were anywhere near as many as 250 HAMAS Freedom Fighters who attacked Kibbutz Kfar Azza. It's also a very round number.
Seven of the 14 members of Kibbutz Kfar Azza's emergency squad were killed in the attack ■ Most of the IDF strikes on October 7 targeted Gaza, while the kibbutz remained under attack ■ The most significant attack took place in the 'young families' neighborhood
The young families were nearly all murdered by Israeli I.A.F. and I.O.F. house fires, bullets, drone missiles and tank shells.

The Israeli military presented one of the kibbutz communities that faced a massacre on October 7, 2023, with findings of its probe into the events of that day, on Wednesday. Kibbutz community members said afterward that the investigation, although "comprehensive and in-depth, failed to answer a critical question – Where was the Israeli military?"
It was indeed a massacre, but predominantly murders of its own civilians by Israel’s I.A.F. and I.O.F.
The probe found that Kfar Azza was invaded by some 250 terrorists on October 7 and that by 8:30 A.M., not a single soldier had reached the kibbutz, leaving the 14 members of its emergency squad to fight alone. By that time, 37 kibbutz members had been killed. Some areas of the kibbutz did not see any soldiers arrive until the following day.
A lot less than 250 HAMAS Freedom Fighters, including ISLAMIC JIHAD and other Palestinian young men.
The probe also found that the troops who eventually reached Kfar Azza arrived without a commander and without any coordination among themselves. As a result, the fighting was concentrated solely in the southern part of the kibbutz. However, the army maintained that most of the soldiers were not delayed in reaching the kibbutz, as had been asserted in the past, and that hundreds of soldiers were deployed in the southern section throughout the day.
That is a lie. Soldiers and airmen were deliberately held back for five to six hours by Netanyahu and his War Room.
The probe further revealed that the evacuation of residents was carried out too late and in a disorganized manner. In some cases, soldiers assured families barricaded in their homes that they would return to evacuate them – but never did, as they became engaged in combat.
The report also found that the air force failed to assist in halting the attack, primarily targeting terrorists as they retreated toward Gaza – after most of the killings had already occurred. Most of the air attacks during the time the kibbutz was under attack targeted Gaza, which the report classified as a critical mistake. The probe also found that pilots saw terrorists in the kibbutz but refrained from attacking because they could not distinguish between them and Israeli civilians.
True, but they also targeted and murdered their own civilians and soldiers on numerous occasions under their resurrected Hannibal Directive.
Eleven hostages from Kfar Azza were returned in the first hostage deal with Hamas in November 2023, and another three during the current agreement. Two others, Yotam Haim and Alon Lulu Shamriz, managed to escape captivity but were mistakenly shot and killed by Israeli soldiers in December 2023. Another two, Gali and Ziv Berman, remain in captivity.
“Mistakenly shot”!?! They were unarmed, the shouted out in clear eloquent Hebrew, they waved white shirts, they were stripped to the waist, and their hands were raised above their heads!!!
The kibbutz said in a statement that "the State of Israel's foremost duty is to bring back the kibbutz members who are still in captivity, the brothers Gali and Ziv Berman, along with all the hostages," adding that "the state must ensure that all the security and physical conditions are in place for the revival of Kfar Azza."
The findings of the probe were "shocking and difficult," the kibbutz statement said, "For many long hours, the community members cried out for help and fought almost alone, revealing acts of heroism and camaraderie in the face of hundreds of murderers, while the members of the emergency squad fought alone and fiercely without a single soldier reaching the kibbutz until late in the morning."
Because the I.A.F. and I.O.F. were stood down for five to six hours!
**** Presenting the findings, IDF Home Front Command chief Maj. Gen. Rafi Milo admitted: "We weren't prepared. We didn't think or anticipate that Hamas would be capable of waging a broad attack by surprise."… both photos forensically enhanced by AARON PAUL ****
Milo acknowledged that over the years, "we regressed in defending our borders," attributing this to a decline in reserve enlistment and an insufficient deployment of standing army forces, "especially on Shabbat." He added that the military had attempted to implement an emergency activation protocol in communities near the Gaza border, similar to those used by security officers in West Bank settlements, but the plan had not been carried out.
WHY!?!
"We have the ability to activate the entire [Gaza border] perimeter at the push of a button," Milo said. "I didn't do it. It didn't cross my mind that morning, and that is my personal failure."
WHY!?!
Before being presented to the entire kibbutz, the findings were shared on Wednesday with the families of those murdered and, on the day before that, with members of the emergency squad.
Again deceiving most of the families as to who murdered and injured their relatives and friends, and as to how they were killed and maimed.
According to people who attended these meetings, military representatives presented them with a timeline of events on the day of the attack. Even then, however, the investigations did not reveal any information that had not previously been known.
Because it is a major cover up by the Israeli government and military.

The attack on Kfar Azza began as a coordinated assault from multiple locations, and the kibbutz was quickly overrun. Control was only regained on Tuesday, October 10. That morning, the border fence near the kibbutz was breached in at least two additional places, and many of those murdered or kidnapped were residents who lived near the breaches. Some of the terrorists infiltrated using mechanized gliders. Seven of the 14 members of the emergency squad were killed in the attack.
OCTOBER 10!??
Although not the first, the most significant attack took place in the "young families" neighborhood, located about 50 meters (165 feet) from the border fence gate, which was breached by throngs of terrorists. It became the main site of destruction in the first hours. At least eight of the 64 people murdered in Kfar Azza lived there. Of the 19 residents kidnapped from the kibbutz, seven were from the neighborhood: Alon Lulu Shamriz, Yotam Haim, Doron Steinbrecher, Amit Sousanna, Emily Damari, and Gali and Ziv Berman.
Many murdered by Israel, not HAMAS, nor ISLAMIC JIHAD, nor other Palestinian men.
First comment as posted beneath the news story on the Haaretz website:
“There should be an investigation by an independent committee reviewing: handling of spotter information, escalation process during the 6 first hours and handling by PMO during that time, usage of Hannibal Directive by tank shelling and Apache gunship , vulnerability of multi-billion border against low tech, effects of removal of all moral restrictions on Tsahal,, political abetting of Hamas including by allowing funding...War Cabinet keeps taking Israel sons and daughters in the army and plunge the population in the biggest global wave of hatred ever. The Cabinet should therefore be able to look itself in the mirror and the IDF too. Is Israel still standing by its statements of being the most moral army in the world and the only democracy in the middle east or does it want to take the 5th?”
