Of these, 10 were dubbed “green”, meaning they were “professional, comprehensive, and enable learning and progress”. Their findings will now be implemented across the military.
A further ten, including the Nova probe, were classified as “orange”, because they established the factual basis of the events but did not “identify the points of failure or the necessary changes”.
And five were labelled “red” for “unsatisfactory.
The panel did not, though, examine the interactions between the IDF and political leadership, nor its relationship with the security agencies.
Responding to the findings, Zamir pledged to make "personal decisions" about serving senior officers, including potential dismissals.
He also called for a wider "external" inquiry into the failings leading up to October 7 and on the day itself.
But he stopped short of advocating a full state commission of inquiry, calls for which the government has long resisted.
Prime Minister Netanyahu is reported to favour a government commission, whose members will be appointed by the coalition rather than the Supreme Court.
Several cabinet ministers have argued that Supreme Court President Isaac Amit could not be trusted to appoint an impartial chair for the panel.
Channel 12 suggested that Amit was likely to appoint former Supreme Court President Esther Hayut, who has been outspoken in her criticism of the government’s judicial reforms, to lead the commission.
Instead, Netanyahu is said to be considering “a retired judge [or] a retired general identified with the right”.
Last month the Knesset State Control Committee rejected a proposal for a state commission backed by members of the opposition Yesh Atid, Blue and White, and Ra'am parties.
The motion was defeated thanks to the coalition's two-vote majority, with committee members from Likud, Shas and United Torah Judaism voting it down.
