Knesset establishes military tribunal to try Oct. 7 terrorists

The Knesset passed legislation 93-0 to create a special military tribunal to try roughly 300 alleged Hamas-led terrorists captured inside Israel during the October 7 invasion. The proceedings are slated to be filmed and broadcast; funding had not yet been finalized, and the Defense Ministry cost estimate is roughly NIS 5 billion.
