Elkana Federman, former security chief for the Nova festival, received a recorded warning about potential "trouble" during Sukkot about a week before the October 7 Hamas attack. The message came from a security guard serving as an IDF soldier near the Gaza border. Federman passed the warning up his chain of command, and was told it was handled. He believes the recording reflected general soldier concerns rather than specific knowledge of the impending large-scale attack.
