Father of Slain American Soldier Calls for Congressional Probe Into October 7 Attack

A father whose son was killed in the October 7 attack is pressing Congress to investigate how dozens of Americans died and were injured that day, arguing that the families of the victims deserve a full accounting.

Ruby Chen made the appeal during an appearance on “The Alex Marlow Show,” the Breitbart Editor-in-Chief’s daily radio program. According to Breitbart, Chen said the deaths of 46 U.S. citizens, along with injuries to dozens of other Americans, warrant a formal congressional inquiry.

“For the 46 killed US citizens as well as dozens of other U.S. citizens that were injured…there should be a congressional investigation committee to understand the how of what happened,” Chen said, as reported by Breitbart.

Families Seek Answers

Chen’s remarks reflect a broader frustration among families of American victims, many of whom have spent months seeking information about the circumstances surrounding the attack. The call for a congressional committee signals that some relatives are not satisfied with the explanations they have received so far and want lawmakers to examine the chain of events that left so many Americans dead or wounded.

The 46 American deaths represent one of the largest single-day losses of U.S. civilian lives in a terror attack in recent memory, alongside the dozens more who were injured. Yet the domestic political response has, according to Chen, fallen short of what the scale of the toll demands.

Chen’s son has been identified in previous reporting as one of the Americans killed on October 7, though the details of his individual case were not elaborated on during the radio segment.

A Push for Official Scrutiny

Demands for a congressional investigation add a new layer to the ongoing debate in Washington over the attack and its aftermath. Such an inquiry would likely examine intelligence failures, evacuation efforts, and the treatment of U.S. citizens caught in the violence. For the families involved, the hope is that a formal committee would provide a definitive account of what went wrong and why so many Americans could not be saved.

It remains unclear whether any lawmaker has committed to establishing such a panel. No specific legislation or resolution was mentioned during the interview, and it is not yet known whether members of Congress have responded to Chen’s request.

The interview aired as part of “The Alex Marlow Show,” which broadcasts weekdays from noon to 1 p.m. Eastern on Salem Radio Network stations and re-airs at 9 p.m. Eastern on the Salem TV news channel. The program’s podcast is released weekdays at 9 p.m. Eastern and is available on YouTube, Rumble, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify.

For the families of the 46 Americans killed, the push for an investigation is about more than policy. It is about understanding the final hours of their loved ones’ lives — and ensuring that the government provides answers that have so far been elusive.
