Ex-Defense Minister Gallant Confirms Hamas Prison Warning Before Oct. 7
Former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant confirmed on Sunday that Hamas had issued a warning about the situation in Israeli prisons prior to the October 7th attacks. Speaking on a radio interview, Gallant stated that a message conveyed through the Shin Bet security agency indicated that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar would "shake the prisons." He added that the Shin Bet and Military Intelligence Directorate's assessment at the time was that this warning related to the potential abduction of Aruzor Kov. Gallant also addressed reports of warnings from the United Arab Emirates, saying he was hearing about them for the first time through the media. He emphasized that if such warnings were received by a prime minister from a state leader, they should be treated as a national security asset, not a political one.
Furthermore, Gallant denied any knowledge of a visit by the head of Egyptian intelligence to Israel in the days leading up to October 7th. He asserted that such an event would not have occurred without his awareness and would not have been managed by his subordinates.
