Hamas attack on Israel is a failure of the intelligence services

    The surprise and successful first-day attack by Hamas terrorists on Israel could become one of the biggest Israeli intelligence failures since the 1973 Yom Kippur War.

    .

    This opinion was expressed by several influential Western media, writes DW.

    Bloomberg believes that Israeli and US intelligence agencies must detect the attack. In an article published on Sunday, October 8, the publication notes that the Hamas attack consisted of dozens of operations on land and sea, as well as rocket attacks.

    It is a complex plan involving such planning and coordination that the intelligence services of Israel or the United States must notice it. It’s shocking to me that they were able to do this without Israel or the United States paying attention. Lack of preparedness, lack of troops along the border, lack of a fence along the border for which they paid millions of shekels, the agency quotes the former US Ambassador to Israel and member of the Council on Foreign Relations Martin Indyka.

    The publication notes that the attack occurred exactly 50 years after the start of the Yom Kippur War, when Israel was unable to prevent a surprise attack by Egypt and Syria. The intelligence failure then became the subject of countless investigations.

    According to a US congressional staffer who requested anonymity, Congress must ask tough questions given that Israeli and US intelligence agencies must detect an attack of this scale. According to the publication, the failure is even more striking because the Israeli security services devote significant resources to monitoring Palestinian society, in particular Hamas, through informants, as well as to surveillance technologies.

    The Guardian writes that the intelligence failure will forever go down in history. This opinion was expressed by British journalist Peter Beaumont in a column for The Guardian.

    He noted that just a few hours later, dozens of militants from the Gaza Strip broke through the border barriers into southern Israel, and the Israeli military was completely unprepared for this.

    The Israeli surveillance system is the most advanced in the world, and despite all the preparations of the intelligence services, the Hamas attack was missed, he writes.

    The journalist called this situation surprising, given that Israeli surveillance of Palestinian society is very intense and aggressive, and monitoring the activities of Hamas is one of the most important tasks for security agencies.

    It’s hard to imagine a security failure of this magnitude in Israel’s recent history,” Brian Katulis, vice president of the Middle East Institute, said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.

    He was surprised that none of Israel’s allies noticed Hamas preparing for an attack:

    It is obvious that this was a well-planned operation that did not occur immediately, and it is surprising that it was not discovered by Israel or its security partners.

    Jonathan Schanzer, senior vice president for research at the American Foundation for Defense of Democracies, called the attack a stunning military and intelligence failure by Israeli intelligence agencies in an interview with WSJ.
