The IDF's ongoing investigation into Saturday's shooting at the Egyptian border that killed three Israeli soldiers, and the Egyptian policeman Mohamad Salah, is focusing on specific aspects of the operational failure to deal with its infiltration and its subsequent response.

According to the Hebrew Maariv newspaper, the results of the preliminary investigation will be presented to the Chief of Staff of the Israeli Army, Herzi Halevy, early next week.

According to the newspaper, the operational investigation is divided into two parts, the first is the entire initial event when two soldiers were killed at the site after the bomber infiltrated "Israeli territory" and surprised them, and the second is the confrontation incident in which the third soldier was killed.

The newspaper pointed out that there is criticism within the Israeli army regarding the decision to launch an attack against the port after locating it without waiting for air support or additional forces, after isolating the uninhabited area in which it was located and benefiting from the capabilities of the army in the possibility of confronting it.

According to the newspaper, the pursuit of the port, the closure of the area, the method of the operation and its management, and communication with the Air Force will be the focus of the investigation, referring to the criticism of the issue of the long 12-hour shifts during which the soldiers are required to be present at the designated points, in addition to not communicating with them every hour, to Case side of the emergency exit locked with plastic handcuffs.

Senior officers in the Israeli army said that the decision to launch an attack to quickly liquidate the crossing came because of the fear that it would reach the roads through which the Israelis travel.

Israeli military sources believe that there are major failures, and therefore the army is currently focusing on the collapse of the entire defense system concept in the area, especially in all permanent sites along the fence.
