According to N12, police representatives are expected to present the findings of the internal investigation into the police's role on October 7 to the families of fallen officers on Monday. Commissioner Danny Levi reportedly discovered upon taking office that no such probe had been conducted, and ordered it launched. Thousands of officers were interviewed as part of the review.
On Sunday evening, N12 reported that the Israel Police will present the findings of its internal investigation into the October 7 massacre to bereaved families on Monday, and that thousands of officers were interviewed for the probe. The report adds detail to the police's Saturday announcement that the presentations would begin this week.
The development follows a sequence of reports on Saturday evening. The Zioneer first reported that the police had completed 40 internal investigations into the massacre. Shortly afterward, Commissioner Danny Levi revealed that no investigation existed when he assumed office, and he ordered one. He pledged full transparency, including sharing recordings and videos with families. The police then confirmed that the findings would be presented starting Monday.
The police internal probe is separate from a state commission of inquiry into October 7, which remains under political debate. As The Zioneer reported, bereaved families have demanded that security officials be barred from public events until a state inquiry is established. The police commissioner has also faced internal criticism from officers over his command decisions.
It remains unclear what specific findings will be presented to the families, and whether the full investigation will be made public. The police have not disclosed the content of the 40 probes, and the families' response to the findings is not yet known.
