Former Military Secretary to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, retired Major General Avi Gil, has confirmed a July 2024 report stating that former Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar warned Netanyahu in July 2023 of a potential war. Gil also alleged that the Prime Minister's office falsified official protocols and minutes.
Regarding specific warnings prior to the October 7th attack, Gil stated, "Was there a specific, concrete warning about the Gaza Strip? The definitive answer is no." He denied any precise intelligence about an imminent attack on Gaza.
The Likud party responded to Gil's statements, accusing him of being aware of the impending attack but failing to alert Netanyahu in a timely manner. A party statement asserted, "Like other officials, Avi Gil knew about the approaching attack and chose not to wake the Prime Minister in time." The party further claimed Gil woke Netanyahu only at the start of the attack at 6:29 AM, despite possessing intelligence from 3:55 AM.
