File a complaint

This article can be challenged with Times of Israel's editorial-standards team.

  • Amend the headline to include a finite harm verb and a reference to the human cost of the reported events, for example along the lines of: "IDF airstrike kills five in Gaza City as outlet examines whether Oct. 7 lessons will be implemented."
  • Add a clear attribution caveat at every point where the article adopts military classifications of killed individuals in journalist voice, making plain that the designation "terror group's de facto leader" is an IDF claim and is contested.

We delve into the ways in which the IDF has determined these so-called journalists were linked to terror organizations and the problematic nature of reporting from the Gaza Strip. IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir convened senior officers on Sunday for a conference on the lessons learned from the October 7 attack, three years on. During the conference, Zamir presented a certificate of appreciation to Chief Warrant Officer “Vav,” a member of the signals intelligence Unit 8200 — identified only by her first initial in Hebrew — who warned before October 7, 2023, that Hamas had a clear plan in place to attack Israel. Senior intelligence officers had dismissed and ignored her warnings. We delve into this painful saga. The IDF has established a new military school that aims to boost the combat training of combat support soldiers, preparing them for the day when they may have to put down the clipboard and pick up a gun. The commander of the school, a lieutenant colonel, told The Times of Israel that the new program “was established as part of the lessons of October 7.” Fabian explains how this school represents a totally new concept for the IDF.
