Protesters attempted to storm Israel’s Supreme Court as it heard petitions calling for an independent, professional inquiry into the October 7, 2023, events, according to Israeli media. Israel’s public broadcaster KAN said on Thursday the session, held before a panel of seven judges led by Deputy Chief Justice Noam Sohlberg, was marked by “heated debate” as the court considered demands for a formal state commission of inquiry. Scuffles broke out outside the court building between families of the killed who support forming an inquiry and others who oppose it, the broadcaster reported.
