Report: Netanyahu Warned of Oct. 7 Attack, Did Not Update IDF, Shin Bet

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly received intelligence warnings days before the October 7th Hamas attacks but did not update the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) or the Shin Bet security agency, according to a report by Shlomi Eldar and Ruth Yuval. The report suggests a significant intelligence failure, with Netanyahu allegedly withholding crucial information from the military and security branches.
