Eyal Eshel, father of Roni Eshel, an IDF observer who was murdered at the Nahal Oz base on October 7, told Israel’s KAN News on Wednesday that some of the terrorists who invaded Israel on October 7 were speaking Farsi.
This claim, he told KAN, was uncovered recently and is based on witness testimony.
“We know much more than we did [before] about October 7,” Eshel said. “Every day we are learning new things [about it]. So here, we’ve learned this too.”
Based on this claim, Eshel extrapolated that Iran also gathered intelligence on the Israeli Gaza border area towns before October 7.
Eshel collected information via his own channels, not through the IDF
He noted that this information came from privately collected witness interviews, rather than the IDF.
“This is all stuff we collect,” he told KAN. “I work on it, I live it. I am on a mission that Roni gave to me.”
“She has given me the task of making this country better,” Eshel explained.
“I’m trying with all my might. It takes a lot of resources and a lot of will, [but] children who are growing up here today deserve to grow up in a different reality.”
