Gallant: Hamas Warned of Sinwar's Plans Before Oct. 7 Attack
Former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant revealed that Israeli security forces received a warning from Hamas operatives about Yahya Sinwar's intentions prior to the October 7, 2023, attack. Gallant stated that the Shin Bet received a message through Hamas sources saying, "Sinwar will make the prisons shake." He emphasized this was the only such message received by the Shin Bet before the attack.
Israeli security forces at the time speculated the warning might relate to preparations for a prisoner exchange involving Israeli researcher Elizabeth Tsurkov, who was abducted in Iraq earlier in 2023. Gallant also acknowledged awareness of media reports concerning warnings from Egypt and the United Arab Emirates preceding the October 7 attack, though he personally did not receive information about these specific warnings at the time.
Previously, a former Palestinian Authority minister had also reported passing a warning to Shin Bet personnel about a potential "earthquake" referring to Sinwar's actions. The article also briefly mentions other unrelated news items.
