The Israel Police have completed 40 internal investigations into the October 7 massacre, the police commissioner announced Saturday night. The investigations examine the police's conduct during the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel.
The commissioner pledged that the findings will be presented to bereaved families this week, with each family receiving a briefing led by a commissioner and the relevant investigation manager. The presentations will include all collected material — communication recordings, video footage, photographs, and witness testimonies. "We will come to every family and give them the full truth we have assembled over a year and a half," the commissioner said. "We will tell everything we know, because in the police we tell the truth."
As The Zioneer reported earlier Saturday evening, Channel i24 had previously reported the completion of the investigations. The commissioner's statement now provides the official confirmation and details on the presentation process.
The completion of the police probes comes amid ongoing calls from bereaved families and political figures for a state commission of inquiry into the broader failures of October 7.
