The Administrative Affairs Court permitted the publication of the identity of Lt. Col. A, the intelligence officer of the Gaza Division on October 7, 2023, who still serves in the IDF intelligence corps. The officer is expected to appeal to the Supreme Court in a final attempt to prevent the disclosure of his name and to halt his dismissal from the military. Judge Kobi Vardi ruled that the public interest outweighs his privacy, especially given the massive publicity already made on networks and search engines. The state initially withdrew its security objection, leading to the decision. The officer ended his role in January 2025, and in November 2025, Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir determined that he bears command responsibility for the events of October 7. The officer argued that the dismissal was unlawful and without authority.
