""The IDF failed in its primary mission on October 7th to protect the civilians of the State of Israel," Zamir said, referring to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). "This is a severe, resounding, systemic failure, relating to decisions and conduct on the eve of the event and during it," he said. "The lessons of that day are numerous and significant, and they must serve as our compass for the future toward which I intend to lead the IDF.""
""The decision was announced late Sunday following an internal investigation. What reason was given for the firing of military chiefs? Zamir said he had fired and reprimanded senior commanders due to the military's failure "to protect the civilians of the State of Israel." In a statement, the military confirmed that the officers were told they would be released from reserve duty and would no longer serve.""
"Others received formal reprimands, while one officer was informed that their service would be ended. Another submitted his resignation.

Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir dismissed several senior officers and reprimanded others after an internal investigation found failures surrounding the October 7 attacks. Zamir stated the IDF failed in its primary mission to protect civilians and described the events as a severe, systemic failure tied to decisions and conduct before and during the attack. The dismissed officers were released from reserve duty and will no longer serve; some had previously resigned from active service. Others received formal reprimands, one had service ended, and one submitted a resignation. The disciplinary steps followed mounting public protests seeking accountability and a state inquiry.
