An operational investigation by the IDF reveals a difficult and painful picture of the October 7 events in Moshav Mivtachim. The investigation was completed after nine months and was recently presented to residents and bereaved families. The investigation determines that the IDF failed to defend the moshav and highlights the extraordinary bravery of members of the rapid response teams from Mivtachim and Moshav Yesha, who were joined by an additional fighter. The bravery of the rapid response team members disrupted the terrorists' plans and prevented a greater disaster at the cost of five fighters' lives.
