  2. 02Egyptian intelligence also warned Israel of a significant Hamas attack before Oct. 7.

  4. 04Israel prioritized economic concessions for Gaza and Saudi deal over warnings.
  5. 05Hamas's deception strategy successfully blinded Israeli leadership, reports suggest.

These warnings were reportedly downplayed or not fully acted upon, as Israel was focused on economic concessions for Gaza and a potential Saudi normalization deal, falling victim to Hamas's deception strategy.
