The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) released a detailed timeline of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s actions on October 7, 2023, to counter “inaccurate reports” regarding his response to the Hamas invasion. According to the PMO, Netanyahu was first informed of the attack at 6:29 a.m. and questioned the lack of prior intelligence at 6:44 a.m. He arrived at the Kirya military headquarters around 8:00 a.m. (Shin Bet records indicate 8:22 a.m.) and convened a situation assessment at 9:55 a.m. During this meeting, Netanyahu ordered the Gaza border sealed, rejected a partial reservist mobilization in favor of a full call-up, and instructed the military to prepare for potential northern front engagement. He also asked officials to examine “whether a broad mobilization of IDF reservists was required and whether Hamas’s senior leadership could be eliminated.”
