The IDF presented the families of killed hostages HCarmel Gat, Eden Yerushalmi, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Alexander Lobanov, Almog Sarusi, and Ori Danino with the final investigation into their execution in a tunnel in Rafah in August, while army forces were operating in the area. The investigation shows that the IDF assessed that the likelihood of hostages being present in the area was medium to low. However, it also shows that if such information had been available, the forces would not have operated in the area or would have operated completely differently. It also shows that after hostage Farhan Qadi was found in a nearby tunnel about two weeks earlier, a freeze and reassessment was carried out regarding the presence of hostages, but the fighting did not stop.
