The national security adviser said Israel had received no specific notification from Egypt or anywhere else about the October 7 attack by Hamas on Gaza.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s national security adviser admitted during a press conference today that his statement days before the Hamas attack on Israel that deterring a Hamas attack was working was a mistake.
“That was wrong“, he said, adding that the miscalculation was shared by the entirety of Israel’s Intelligence services. “There is no doubt that the State of Israel has not fulfilled its mission,” said Zahi Hanegbi.
The national security adviser stated that Israel received no specific notification from Egypt or anywhere else about the October 7 Hamas attack on Gaza.
The head of Israel’s Shin Bet internal security services, Ronen Barr, was summoned for an emergency briefing at 04:00, two and a half hours before the attack began, on new intelligence evidence, but it did not warrant mobilization, Zahi Hanegbi told reporters. . “It was not a specific warning of what was to come,” he said.
Israel’s national security adviser also said hostilities with Lebanon’s Hezbollah group appeared to be limited in scale and warned the Shiite group against taking action that could lead Lebanon to “disaster.”
The limited-scale clashes on the Lebanese-Israeli border show that Hezbollah remains “below the threshold of escalation,” he added.
