The Jerusalem Post newspaper quoted an Israeli security source as saying that the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) had perfectly deceived Israel before the attack it carried out on the 7th of last October, and that Yahya Al-Sinwar and Muhammad Al-Deif had knowledge of close Israeli intelligence surveillance, and used secret methods to communicate… Messages.
The security official said that no one in Israel understood this, otherwise they would not have left the border unguarded and without an initial response in the first hours of the attack from the ground or air.
The source added that some of the Israeli spy tools that Tel Aviv planted in the Gaza Strip in 2018 fell into the hands of Hamas, and it was not ruled out that Iran helped the movement in dismantling the codes of these tools.
In turn, the New York Times highlighted secret documents that revealed that Israeli officials obtained more than a year ago a plan attributed to Hamas aimed at launching an unprecedented attack on Israel, but Israeli military and intelligence officials refused to believe the plan, and considered it difficult to implement.
The newspaper added that the document, which consists of 40 pages, talks about a large-scale attack very similar to the attack of last October 7, but it did not specify the date of the attack.
The French newspaper Le Figaro published an article by writer Philippe Gilly, in which he talked about the disappointment that struck the world after the seven-day truce gave the impression that stopping the fighting would be possible between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
The writer pointed out that in the absence of a political strategy for the next step, Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli Army General Staff have enough military plans to postpone the end of the war.
As for the Wall Street Journal, it asked in an article whether the West is adopting double standards in dealing with Ukraine and the Gaza Strip.
The article noted that the same Western leaders who described Russia's targeting of Ukrainian power plants and water networks as a terrorist and brutal act supported Israel's deprivation of electricity, water, and fuel to the residents of Gaza, at least initially.
For its part, Al-Ghadrian newspaper reported that 4 foreign activists were arrested in front of the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs building to demand that they enter Gaza. The group calls itself “International Activists for Free Palestine.”
The four activists who were arrested at the headquarters of the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs since Thursday afternoon hold the nationalities of Argentina, France, America, and Australia.
