Hebrew Media: We are facing the biggest intelligence failure in the history of Israel.
Ami Rokas Dumba, an analyst of the Israel Defense analysis news site, wrote in a note that if Iran or another foreign party was involved in this work, then it shows the extreme weakness of the Mossad, which could not be informed of the plans of foreign parties against Israel.
In this regard, he added: One of the questions that arise in relation to Hamas’s surprise operation on Saturday morning is whether foreign parties helped Hamas in this matter and if so, which parties they were.
In another part of this note, according to the Washington Post, planning for this operation began in mid-2022, but neither the Israeli intelligence service nor the United States had any knowledge of its occurrence, and only the Egyptians claim to have warned Netanyahu in this regard, but Tel Aviv denies it.
According to Yisrael Hume, since the days of Yossi Cohen’s presidency, Mossad claims that it has many eyes to monitor Iran. His successor, David Barnia, continued this claim and even claimed to be able to neutralize Iran’s nuclear bomb at the right time. Although Barniaa did not make the claims directly to Cohen, as one of his deputies, he also claimed the existence of Mossad’s vast abilities and capacities in Iran.
In the following paragraphs, the author came to the conclusion that despite all the facilities and (alleged) capacities of the Mossad, like Aman and Shin Beit, they did not know about the attack on October 7, 2023, an operation that symbolically reminds us of the surprise operation 50 years ago on Yom Kippur. , although Mossad had only been awarding itself various awards for successes in the Yom Kippur War for a few days.
At the end of this article, it is also stated that when the noise of the conflict subsides, an investigation committee will be formed regarding the intelligence failure of October 2023, and there, perhaps, the causes of the biggest intelligence failure in the history of Israel will be determined, because the information was received even on the Day of Kippur, but in We had analyzed it wrongly.
Currently, the intelligence services today are busy with questions regarding the coming days, if a ground attack is carried out, what awaits the Israeli army in Gaza? Will Hezbollah enter into this conflict with the Israeli army? What position will the Israeli Arabs take? Do Palestinian organizations have bases deep in Israel? Many questions are raised that we hope they have answers for.
