Soldiers from the Israeli Defense Forces’ (IDF) esteemed 8200 signal intelligence unit reportedly issued warnings of a potential mass invasion by Hamas prior to the October 7 atrocities, but the warnings were dismissed as “fantasies” by senior officers, according to reports on Channel 12 and the Kan public broadcaster.
The reports say that a senior non-commissioned officer (NCO) and a junior officer from Unit 8200 had long anticipated a major operation planned by Hamas. Despite presenting their findings to senior IDF officers, their warnings went unheeded.
These latest exposés add to a series of reports from the past month that have brought to light the IDF’s prior knowledge of a possible Hamas invasion. This includes reports from IDF surveillance soldiers stationed along the Gaza border, who noted unusual training exercises by Hamas three months before the fateful October 7th.
Channel 12’s report detailed the NCO’s compilation of raw intelligence data, outlining a scenario eerily similar to the events of October 7. Alongside the junior officer, they identified a Hamas drill a month prior, which included preparations for a large-scale invasion of Israel through multiple entry points. Their warnings were dismissed by a senior IDF officer, who was not from Unit 8200, and no action was taken based on their information.
Kan’s report echoed these findings, adding that the NCO had also pointed out the use of vehicles in Hamas’ drill, indicating a preparedness for a large-scale assault capable of sparking an all-out war. Although the senior officer acknowledged the substantial nature of the information, they distinguished between Hamas’ ability to drill and its capacity to execute such an attack in reality.
Furthermore, Kan disclosed that the IDF had previously obtained a Hamas terror manual outlining strategies to conquer the Gaza border region in southern Israel. The manual detailed tactics for overtaking IDF positions, capturing towns, and attacking key regional cities, using pickup trucks, motorbikes, hang-gliders, and anti-tank missiles. The manual also described a deceptive strategy of engaging in border negotiations and drills to lull Israel into a false sense of security.
Despite these detailed plans being communicated to IDF’s senior ranks, they were reportedly dismissed based on the assessment that Hamas lacked the operational capability for such an extensive attack.
In response to these reports, the IDF said, “All of the [IDF’s] commanders and soldiers are focused on this mission alone in order to complete the goals of the war. When the war is finished, a detailed and thorough investigation will be conducted clarifying every last detail.”

אם ד’ לא ישמור עיר…
Monday morning quarterbacks.
Remember: אם ה’ לא ישמור עיר, שווא שקד שומר
I think it was on purpose so Israel could have an excuse to weaken Hamas and cause mass destruction in Gaza hoping that that will keep them quiet for a long time afterwards. Also they finally got the extreme left who was giving them a huge headache and bashmutzing them in front of the world to keep quiet. It doesn’t seem possible for the ציונים with their musad not to have known the danger and it wouldn’t be the first time the ציונים killed Jews for their interests. In any case it’s a מצוה ללמד חובה על המסית.
why in the world would they even do such a thing now
Cancer within
Comfortable, Cozy, Arrogant,
IDF Elites with zero sense of knowledge and warfare.
The Israelis woke up to a false sense of self confidence titled the Worlds Best Arms force.
Who paid the price?
Who is trying to bury the failure of hollow arrogant chifftons living in the lap of luxury with income of billions of war industries?
Try and sentence to life imprisonment the ones who dismissed the warnings.
I think It was Hshems way for saying enough with the infighting we need some achdut. Not only that, I hope and pray that the Leftist realize that the war is not about land but about Jew hatred. For now Hashem is winning we have Achdut. Just saying.
History repeats; it’s the same scenario that happened 50 years ago with the Yom Kippur war.
It’s all due to כחי ועוצם ידי
a) if they don’t have specific intelligence, it can’t be true
b) let them come and we’ll finish them off quick enough.
Why did the Titanic sink?
Sadly a ספק פקוח נפש is important enough to take preventative action.

The idolatry of Zionism considers Zionism above all else, including above Jewish lives, as the Zionists more than amply demonstrated during the Holocaust.
אל תבטחו בבן אדם שאין לו תשועה
Why should anyone trust this government ever again?
ישראל בטח בה’ עזרה ומגינם הוא
5783, I agree with you and have thought that to be the case as soon as I heard about the massacre on Oct. 7. I don’t for a minute believe that the Israeli intelligence didn’t know this was coming. I think the Israelis wanted to destroy Hamas for awhile seeing that they are becoming so powerful but they needed “an excuse” for the world and they let this happen.
