The IDF addressed on early Tuesday the complaints of bereaved families after the release of partial audio recordings from the lookout soldiers’ control rooms on October 7, saying, "The recordings were provided after an in-depth review and thorough mapping of communication frequencies from the lookout control rooms in the 24 hours leading up to October 7 and the outbreak of the attack."
The statement emphasized that, as explained to the families when the recordings were handed over, "The recordings provided contain only the voices of their loved ones."
The IDF further stressed its commitment to the bereaved families, saying, "The IDF will not withhold any information from them. Following the families’ request, an additional review is now underway."
