Israel’s National Security Council (NSC) has denied a report alleging that Israeli intelligence provided alerts of suspicious Hamas activity hours before the October 7 attack, which caught the country off guard.
According to a report in�Yediot Achronot, at around 2 a.m. on October 7, the IDF�s Military Intelligence Directorate reportedly informed the IDF Chief of Staff and an intelligence officer in the Prime Minister�s Office about Hamas operatives activating Israeli phone SIM cards�a potential indicator of an impending attack. The report noted that this tactic had been observed during a Hamas exercise the previous year.
The report further claims that by 3 a.m., intelligence officers had notified the NSC�s situation room of multiple concerning signs from Gaza, including what was described as a �meaningful indication.� By 3:55 a.m., the NSC was reportedly informed that Hamas appeared to be shifting to an emergency mode, heightening suspicions of a forthcoming assault.
At 4:00 a.m., IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi reportedly conducted a situational assessment on developments in Gaza, with findings relayed to the Prime Minister�s Office.
In a statement, however, the NSC categorically denied these claims. �Contrary to Ronen Bergman�s false publication in�Yedioth Ahronoth,� the statement read, �no warning was given to the NSC in the early morning of October 7.�

The writing was on the wall, everyone knew it and everyone will deny it!
I support directly linking this incident to what happened in Meron two and a half years ago. Line Meron, they’ll make a half hearted effort to get to the bottom of it, until they get too close to the truth. Then they’ll close down the investigation and blame a fall guy and declare that we must all move on.
