Israeli intelligence knew “with a high degree of precision” and in advance of October 7 Hamas’ plans to kidnap between 200 and 250 people, including civilians and soldiers, according to information to which the Israeli public broadcaster Kan has had access, published this Tuesday.
The Army knew “with a high degree of precision” the plans of the Islamist organization, according to Kan, whose television channel showed last night a report Intelligence published three weeks before the attack on Israeli soil, in which some 1,200 people died and another 251 were kidnapped.
The report contains information on the militiamen’s training to infiltrate Army bases, which before October 7 was only prepared for the incursion of dozens of militiamen through three points, a scenario much lower than the around 3,000 that They entered Israeli territory in the attack.
This Sunday, the Supreme Court ordered to temporarily suspend the investigation into the failures of the Army and the Shin Bet, the internal intelligence agency, that allowed the Hamas incursion, considering that it was counterproductive to do so while the war is ongoing.
