A leaked internal Israeli intelligence assessment, confirmed by The New York Times and reported by Haaretz, reveals that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government received warnings in advance of the October 7 attacks by Hamas. According to the documents, intelligence agencies had identified risks of a major escalation but did not convey the urgency or specific details that might have prompted a stronger preemptive response. The findings raise questions about how the government interpreted and acted—or failed to act—on the available intelligence. Critics argue the revelations underscore systemic failures in risk assessment and communication within Israel’s security apparatus.
