Since last year, Israeli intelligence services have stopped listening to radio conversations of Hamas militants, considering this activity “useless”. This was reported by New York Times.
According to media reports, Israel’s General Security Service could have foreseen an attack on Israel by Palestinian militants. However, this could not be done due to the claim that the militants’ radios have not been tapped since 2022.
As the newspaper’s sources noted, such measures were considered a “useless waste of energy” by the Israeli army.
At three o’clock in the morning of October 7 local time, intelligence services were unable to accurately explain the unusual activities of the militants in the Gaza Strip. Initially, the activity may have been perceived as an exercise.
The American newspaper concluded that Israel’s mistake was caused by many other factors. For this reason, Israel has long believed that the greatest threat to the Jewish state comes from Iran and groups allegedly affiliated with it.
Additionally, in recent years, American intelligence agencies have stopped helping Israel collect data on Hamas.
Before that the Israeli army reported About the conflict between ground forces and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Formerly in Hamas statedHe said the West had built an “unbreakable wall” between itself and the Arab world.
