The army was aware “with a high degree of precision” of the attack by the Islamist organization, which killed some 1,200 people and kidnapped another 251.
Israeli intelligence knew “with a high degree of precision” and before October 7 Hamas’ plans to kidnap between 200 and 250 people, including civilians and soldiers, are evident from information accessed by Israeli public broadcaster Kan, which was published on Tuesday.
The army knew the plans of the Islamist organization ‘with a high degree of precision’, according to Kan, whose television channel had a report Intelligence published three weeks before the attack on Israeli territory, killing about 1,200 people and kidnapping another 251.
The report contains information about the militiamen’s training to infiltrate army bases, which before October 7 were only prepared for the incursion of dozens of militiamen through three points, a scenario far lower than the approximately 3,000 with which they entered Israeli territory during the attack .
This Sunday, the Supreme Court ordered the temporary suspension of the investigation into the failure of the military and the Shin Bet, the internal intelligence service, that allowed the Hamas incursion, saying it was counterproductive to do so while the war continued.
The Israeli military has opened its own internal investigation into the failures that enabled the Hamas attack, with the conclusions expected to be announced in July.
The gap in Israeli security that opened on October 7 has had little impact on the authorities, with only two significant resignations within the military establishment, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not yet taken on any political responsibilities in this regard, despite the fact that A broad citizens’ movement and the opposition are demanding that he call early elections because of these statements and his management of the war.
On April 22, the first resignation following the attacks took place when the head of Israel’s military intelligence, General Aharon Haliva, left his post after 38 years of military service.
The second did not come until June 9, when Brigadier General Avi Rosenfeld left his position after failing to “protect Gaza’s (border) communities, thousands of residents, thousands of participants in the Reim music festival and the armed forces stationed near the Gaza Strip , to protect.” outposts”.
In October, Shin Bet head Ron Bar apologized for what happened on October 7 and took responsibility, but for now he remains in office.
The Israeli authorities’ usual argument for postponing these investigations is that they are interfering in the war in Gaza more than 37,300 Palestinians have died.
