IDF Intelligence Directorate was warned of attack
Arutz Sheva ^ | 25/11/23

Posted on 11/25/2023 3:50:30 PM PST by Eleutheria5

.....

Channel 12 News reports that the attack was originally planned for last Passover Eve, but the IDF detected signs of the attack and raised its alert level to the point that Hamas cancelled the attack.

Hamas was concerned that the IDF had succeeded in infiltrating the command structure and ranks of their organization and worried about the plan leaking out.

Two days ago, it was reported that a senior officer of the IDF's SIGINT unit 8200 had warned that Hamas was planning a large-scale invasion of Israel. The officer discovered Hamas's operational plan, which was eventually the one used, and shared the information with senior officials in 8200 and the Southern Command.

The officer warned her direct superior, who cancelled her vacation to warn the head of the Intelligence Directorate, Aharon Haliva, when he visited the unit's base. Haliva disregarded the report and did not pass the information to the head of the ISA or the Chief of Staff.

According to journalist Nir Dvori, an additional junior officer in Unit 8200 also strongly cautioned that Hamas was training for an attack, and that the attack was indeed planned and not simply a training exercise. The two specified planned points of entry through Israel's border wall, the different communications being sent, and the conclusion that a massive attack was planned. They presented the findings to a senior officer from outside their unit, who dismissed it as "fantasy."

This is like the script of a 1970s disaster flick. It even has a one-word title.

Aharon Haliva deserves execution. He’s too cowardly to off himself.

At the very least, for gross negligence he should be drummed out of the service butt nekkid and relieved of his retirement benefits.

Haliva and the other senior officer had better relocate, but pronto.

He's facing the camera, so you can't see the broad yellow stripe down his back.

So Israel has started navel gazing already. Couple this with the hostages surrender and the premature leaving gaza with hamas gloating and still in control, it doesn’t bode well for Israel survival. Do any Israelis realise this was a war they couldn’t afford to lose. No matter what.

IDF has not left Ghaza. This is just a cease fire. Once it’s over per the terms, it’s back on.

These are very serious charges and if true indicate a very serious lapse by Israeli intelligence and the Mossad.

I'm sure there are many who do and it is not over yet.

Egypt claimed they also warned Israel and their warning was ignored.

IDF Intelligence is not so Intelligent. At best it was malignant negligence. At worst it was treason because of their opposition to judicial reform.

The Israeli army is re-arming and mapping out what they’re doing next. They have found a bunch more tunnels that they’re going to attack as soon as it’s over.

Yoav Gallant, Benny Gantz, and Naftali Bennett led Haliva to believe he didn’t need to do his job as long as he conspired against Netanyahu.

Doubt it. Hamas playing the hostages card neutralises any sustained and decisive Israeli response. And once they get Biden to arm twist Israel more to get U.S citizens realise. No, I’madraid it will be attrition now. Israel had the chance and caved. Hamas will be back at it very quickly. Israeli leadership will mutter some ‘deal a heavy blow’ rhetoric and the same cycle will just roll on

a very serious lapse by Israeli intelligence

sounds like Israel's intel people were still able to detect it (which is reassuring) but it didn't make it thru the chain (which is bad)

wasn't their policy always to report everything, and let it get "sorted-out upstairs"?

Sure they were. And they did the same thing our own FBI and CIA does... Nothing.
