An Egyptian intelligence official said Israeli officials were focused on the West Bank and underestimated the threat from Gaza.
Egypt, which often mediates between Israel and Hamas, has warned Israel several times that the Palestinians are preparing “something great.” The Times of Israel writes about this in relation to an unnamed representative of Egyptian intelligence.
Israeli officials have focused on the West Bank and downplayed the threat from Gaza, the source said.
“We warned them about the approaching explosion of the situation, which is already very close and that it will be big. But they underestimated such warnings,” he said.
It will be remembered that on October 7, the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas launched an attack on Israel. In response, the Israeli army announced the start of Operation Iron Swords and attacked the group’s targets in the Gaza Strip. Israel officially declared a state of war for the first time since the war doomsday 1973.
According to the latest data, as a result of the fighting on both sides, more than 1,100 people have died and several thousand more have been injured.
