Israel’s State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman on Tuesday published alarming findings about IDF positions along the northern border—findings he says were urgently delivered to Israel’s highest political and military leaders before the devastating October 7 massacre. According to Englman’s report, soldiers stationed along the northern frontier voiced serious concerns, saying that their rules of engagement did not adequately match the threats they faced. Reserve soldiers reportedly lacked suitable weaponry, further compromising their readiness to defend the border effectively. Perhaps most disturbing were testimonies from commanders, who disclosed repeated cancellations of vital patrols due to persistent malfunctions in military vehicles.
