Kan News reported that there is no timeline for filing indictments against the Nukhba terrorists who carried out the October 7, 2023 massacre, and it is unknown when preparations for their prosecution will be completed. According to the Defense Ministry's forecast, the recruitment of judges will be completed by early 2027, the recruitment of prosecutors in the coming month, and the dedicated courts will be built by January 2027. Last August, it was reported that military prosecutors for the trials of hundreds of terrorists had not yet been recruited. A senior source in the Military Advocate General's Corps criticized the lack of budgeting and capacity to begin proceedings, amid concerns over the erosion of evidence. The military prosecution intends to seek the death penalty but is aware that this is likely to reach the High Court of Justice.
