A new State Comptroller report by Matanyahu Anglemann reveals severe coordination failures between the IDF and Magen David Adom during the evacuation of wounded on October 7, citing chaos, a breakdown in communications, and a lack of protective gear. The report also criticizes officials who delayed the publication of findings, i24NEWS reports.
The State Comptroller's report, published Tuesday afternoon, goes further than previous findings, specifically detailing a critical shortage of protective gear for medical teams and naming officials who delayed the release of the document. Comptroller Matanyahu Anglemann is quoted publicly questioning who is afraid of the truth. This latest version follows three earlier iterations released simultaneously today: at 16:00 Jerusalem, the first noted that half the wounded evacuated themselves and a critical IDF system collapsed; a second cited a lack of policy, funding, and poor coordination with volunteers; a third identified coordination gaps between the IDF and Magen David Adom. The current version folds those findings into a sharper indictment of the evacuation meltdown.
As The Zioneer has tracked, the comptroller's investigation has evolved over weeks. On June 5, a single-source report described a secret IDF mechanism that collapsed at 3:30 AM on October 7. On June 9, a comptroller bulletin revealed failures in handling terrorists and security prisoners. On June 24, Anglemann stated publicly that senior military figures asked him to drop accountability chapters — a request he said he rejected.
The report lands in a broader pattern of institutional scrutiny. As The Zioneer reported on June 24, Anglemann has framed the investigation as a test of transparency, refusing pressure to omit responsibility findings.
What remains open: the report does not specify which officials delayed publication or what disciplinary or operational consequences may follow. The exact nature of the collapsed "critical system" the IDF was unaware of also remains unconfirmed beyond the comptroller's account.
