A report published by the American newspaper “The New York Times” stated that the signs of the abject failure of the Israeli security, military and political leadership in anticipating the attack of the Islamic Resistance Movement “agitation“On October 7, it began to become more and more clear.
The New York Times added that it examined dozens of official Israeli documents and evidence, and conducted several meetings and dialogues with Israeli, Arab, European and American officials, and the conclusion it reached was: that the military and security leaders were trying, during months, to warn Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the political crisis he created was weakening the country. The enemies coveted it, but Netanyahu continued to be arrogant to the point that, one day last July, he refused to meet with a general who came – with documents – to warn him of imminent security risks.
The newspaper also concluded that Israeli officials had erred for years in assessing the threat posed by Hamas, and more seriously in the period leading up to the attack.
Failed evaluation
The newspaper quoted five people familiar with the assessment and examination of what happened – who spoke on the condition of anonymity – as saying that the official assessment of Israeli military intelligence and the National Security Council since May 2021 was confirming that “Hamas” had no interest in launching an attack from Gaza It may provoke a devastating response from Israel.
Instead, Israeli intelligence estimated that Hamas would strive to “incite violence” against Israelis in the West Bank, which is controlled by its rival Palestinian Authority.
The New York Times report explained that Netanyahu and senior Israeli security officials have also always believed that Iran and Hezbollah represent the most dangerous threat to Israel, and this has led to the diversion of attention and resources away from confronting Hamas.
She said that in late September, senior Israeli officials said that they were concerned about the possibility of Israel being attacked in the coming weeks or months on several fronts by “Iran-backed militias,” but they did not mention that “Hamas” might start a war against Hamas. Israel from the Gaza Strip.
Likewise, the newspaper continues, various American intelligence agencies have stopped their efforts to collect intelligence information about Hamas and its plans, because the Americans believe that Israel can manage its affairs with the movement.
Pride
The New York Times confirmed that Israeli arrogance, based on great technical superiority, made it comfortable with the idea that the “terrorist group” – in reference to Hamas – would never think of attacking Israel. Because it cannot move at all without being detected by all that powerful technical power.
The New York Times indicated that many senior officials in Israel claimed responsibility for what happened, with the exception of Netanyahu, who is still blaming others to exonerate himself.
The newspaper explained that what happened on the seventh of this month was reminiscent of what happened 50 years ago in the October 1973 war, where the same intelligence, security and military mistakes were repeated.
The report said that two prominent Israeli generals came to the Knesset on July 24, to provide an urgent warning to everyone regarding the security risks facing Israel from the north and south, but none of the representatives came to the meeting, except for two representatives.
