FILE - Israeli soldiers carry the body of a person killed in the Hamas attack in kibbutz Kfar Azza on Tuesday, Oct. 10, 2023. Hamas militants overran the kibbutz on Saturday, where many Israelis were killed and taken captive. Fighting has intensified in the Gaza Strip. At least 1,200 Israelis have been killed including nearly 200 Soldiers and thousands more injured after the barbaric attacks from Hamas.
Senior Fellow at Defense Priorities Daniel Davis joined The National Desk’s Jan Jeffcoat to discuss the issue. “More and more information is emerging that this has been planned in some respects,” he said. “Possibly even more than a year but definitely many months heading back all the way into the summer where they had been slowly gaining resources, building up their stockpiles of information.”
Israel is known to have one of the most advanced and sophisticated domestic intelligence agencies, leaving many perplexed about how they were caught off guard by the Hamas attack. Davis believes this could have been due to an internal disruption within the Israeli society and Hamas’ years of experience dealing with Israeli intelligence services.
“Then they've also been conducting very sophisticated misinformation campaigns to make the Israelis think that actually Hamas was going backwards and that they had no interest in having any kind of conflict,” Davis said. “They were actually making comments on radio stations or radio networks that they knew Israeli intelligence was listening to, so that it would lull them into a sense of security. So when the thing launched off, it caught them completely by surprise.
