Egyptian Intelligence Chief Warned Israel 11 Days Before Oct. 7 Attack

The story · English

Eleven days prior to the October 7th Hamas attacks, the head of Egyptian intelligence conveyed a significant warning to Israel regarding potential threats. The specifics of this warning and the exact nature of the intelligence shared remain undisclosed, but it was reportedly communicated directly to Israeli officials.

While the article does not detail the content of the warning, it implies that this intelligence was not acted upon sufficiently, leading to the devastating surprise attack by Hamas. The text includes commentary from readers expressing anger and disbelief that such a warning could be ignored, with some suggesting that Egypt may have been involved in facilitating Hamas's capabilities through tunnels near Rafah.

One commenter lamented the loss of life in the war, including soldiers and civilians killed in the October 7th massacre and at the Nova music festival, wishing a painful death upon those who knew and did nothing. Another commenter predicted that the massacre would lead to the right-wing government's rise to power and the establishment of a state inquiry commission, stating that all involved would face shame and divine judgment.

The article also features a comment suggesting that the world was aware of the impending danger, except for Israel's security services, questioning what this implies about Israel's preparedness. There is a sentiment that despite potential investigations, the current government will remain in power.
