The members of Kibbutz Be'eri in a statement regarding the IDF's investigation into the events of October 7, said that although "it can be said that the investigation was thorough, we demand the establishment of a state commission of inquiry that will leave no stone unturned, examine the conduct of all the parties and provide us with answers with which we can begin to recover and draw conclusions . The members of the kibbutz did not receive a satisfactory answer to some critical questions, for example: why didn't the many military forces who gathered at the gate enter the kibbutz for many hours, when the kibbutz was burning and its residents were crying for help? What caused the intelligence failure that enabled the Hamas invasion plan, and how was the border fence breached without an immediate response from the IDF?"
