Hamas' one-year operation destroys communications immediately after ground invasion; CIA's 'uprising' causes surprise attack to be missed

It was revealed that Hamas destroyed Israeli military communications after a year of meticulous ground invasion preparations in the isolated Gaza Strip, and that the U.S. CIA missed information on a surprise attack on the ground while predicting the possibility of a ‘Palestinian uprising.’
A CIA report dated the 5th, two days before the surprise attack, warned that the possibility of Hamas committing violent acts was increasing. On the 6th, U.S. government officials circulated information that strange movements of Hamas were being observed by Israel, and a large-scale surprise attack began on the 7th. .
The CIA's data on the 5th (2nd report) and September 28th (1st report) contained information that Hamas could launch a rocket attack on Israel within a few days, but did not provide specific tactical information such as the scale of Hamas' attack, infiltration of fighters, and hostage kidnapping. The New York Times announced on the 13th that the access failed.
The NYT said, “The CIA report warned of potential rocket launches but made no mention of Hamas’s intention to use new tactics for a ground invasion,” and added, “Israeli intelligence and U.S. intelligence agencies have confirmed Hamas’ preparations for the October 7 attack.” “It is unclear why it was not detected, but Israeli intelligence agencies share a lot of information about the Palestinian region with American intelligence agencies,” he said.
CIA Director William J. Burns has warned publicly and privately that violence between Israelis and Palestinians could escalate after he takes office in 2021, and in a speech at Georgetown University in February he referred to the Second Intifada 20 years ago and said, "Today's “What we are seeing has very unfortunate similarities to some of the realities we saw then,” he said.
CIA Director Burns publicly warned of “the risk that Israel’s enemies will see growing divisions within Israeli society over Prime Minister Netanyahu’s policies as an opportunity to intensify their attacks on the Jewish state” in a possible armed Palestinian uprising.
The NYT said, “The failure to detect Hamas’ preparations raises questions about whether intelligence agencies misjudged the group’s capabilities and intentions or diverted resources from monitoring other threats,” adding, “Hamas did not allow (U.S.-Israeli) intelligence agencies to wiretap communications.” “We may have found a way to prevent this,” he said.
In another article, the NYT said, “According to a senior Israeli army officer, Hamas attacks on several bases knew exactly where communications servers were and destroyed them,” and “With most of their communications and surveillance systems down, Israelis can often see the commandos coming.” "They found it harder to call for help and get a response, and in many cases they were unable to protect themselves, let alone the surrounding civilian villages."
The Hamas attackers were riding motorcycles with video cameras attached to their heads, and footage detailing the surprise attack was obtained and analyzed by the NYT, which showed the attacker falling to the ground as he died.
Hamas surprise attack planning documents, assault videos and interviews with security officials show that the group has a surprisingly sophisticated understanding of how the Israeli military operates, where it deploys certain units and even how long it takes for reinforcements to arrive. was doing
The NYT said, “With meticulous planning and extraordinary awareness of Israel’s secrets and weaknesses, Hamas and its allies overwhelmed the Gaza Strip and Israel’s front lines shortly after dawn, shocking a nation that has long made military superiority an article of faith.” revealed.
The NYT continued, “Hamas planning documents discovered by Israeli emergency responders in a village (document date October 2022) show that the attackers were organized into well-defined units with clear goals and battle plans, with one platoon serving as a navigator and saboteurs. “They identified how many Israeli troops were stationed at nearby posts, how many vehicles they had at their disposal, and how many Israeli relief forces could reach them.” “We had an estimate of how long it would take to do it,” he said.
In a document analyzed by the NYT, “some units received specific instructions to capture Israelis to use as bargaining chips in future prisoner exchanges with Israel,” and the document stated, “Negotiate using soldiers and civilians as prisoners and hostages.” done.

Approximately 150 kidnapped hostages were captured on a motorcycle with a driver and a sniper, and after shooting them indiscriminately, the kidnapper was placed between the driver and the sniper and quickly returned to the scene.

The Israeli military said in a statement on the 14th, “We have strengthened our readiness to respond to the next phase of the war by deploying troops across the country, focusing on important ground operations,” and added, “We are conducting a wide range of actions, including integrated and coordinated attacks on the Gaza Strip through land, sea, and air.” “We are currently preparing to execute our operational attack plan,” he said.“

We will attack Gaza City soon, and the army is at full readiness in the north,” an Israeli military spokesman told reporters that day. “Our goal is to completely destroy the administrative and military capabilities of Hamas and the terrorist organization,” he said, adding, “We have told the people of Gaza to leave for their safety, but Hamas is preventing them,” he said, Reuters reported.
