The Israel Police Deputy Commissioner has appointed a committee to award commendations to the heroes of October 7, including fallen officers, Yedioth Ahronoth reported Monday morning. The announcement specifies that a separate committee will be established to commemorate the fallen.
As The Zioneer reported earlier today, the committee for commendations had been announced. The new report adds the detail of the commemoration committee, which is intended to ensure the memory of the fallen officers is preserved.
The police have been conducting internal investigations into the October 7 massacre and have faced calls from bereaved families for accountability and commemoration. The establishment of these committees appears to be part of the police's response to those demands.
