Israel's military censor allowed publication of two new Hamas attack warning signs.
One sign identified Hamas leader Mohammed Deif entering a tunnel.
The other sign noted changes in Hamas's anti-tank missile systems.
These details were previously classified and are now public.
The real-time interpretation and dissemination of these signs are not detailed.

The military censor has permitted the publication of two additional indicators that preceded the Hamas attack on October 7, after initially refusing to allow their disclosure. These signs include the identification of Mohammed Deif, a leader of Hamas's military wing, descending into a tunnel, and observed changes in the terror organization's anti-tank missile array. These two details were previously banned from publication but can now be revealed as part of the information concerning the attack's precursors. The article does not provide further details on when these signs were identified, who was exposed to them, or how they were interpreted in real-time. These indicators join previously released information about warnings and the security system's conduct prior to the October 7 onslaught. However, the mere identification of these signs does not clarify their real-time assessment, whether they were conveyed to senior echelons, or if they influenced preparedness for the attack.
