Freed IDF soldiers are unhappy with the military and expressed their displeasure during a meeting with IDF's outgoing chief Herzi Halevi, Israeli media reported. The four female soldiers reportedly criticised the IDF's lack of action when Hamas launched its brutal attack on Israel on 07 October 2023. All four soldiers, part of IDF's surveillance unit, were freed by Hamas as part of the hostage-prisoner deal in the first phase of the ceasefire.
