IDF to Begin Reviewing Medals and Commendations for October 7 Heroes Three years after the October 7 massacre, the IDF announced it will begin reviewing military commendations and decorations for soldiers who fought during the initial Hamas invasion. The process will begin with a meeting on October 14, led by the head of the IDF Personnel Directorate and the president of the Military Court of Appeals. The initial review will focus on the battles fought to stop the invasion during the first 24 hours of the war. The IDF will later examine acts of bravery throughout the subsequent three years of fighting in Gaza and Lebanon. Bereaved families have been informed of the process.
