Recently, the New York Times published a report about Israel's knowledge of Hamas's attack plan more than a year ago, which attracted widespread attention from the international community. The article unveils a document code-named "The Wall of Jericho", which details Hamas's military plan of action for preparing an attack on Israel. The plan even includes the location and size of Israeli forces, communication sites, and other sensitive information. What is even more shocking is that Hamas executed this plan almost perfectly in the attack on October 7 this year. The report has raised questions about whether the Israeli military was already aware of Hamas's plan and why it had been ignored. First, let's take a look at what exactly is included in this wall of Jericho document. According to reports, the document, which is more than 40 pages long, describes in detail Hamas's plan for an attack on Israel, including the date, manner and specific details of the operation. In the case of Hamas's attack on Israel on October 7 of this year, it carried out almost exactly this plan, from the initial rocket attack to the use of drones to destroy surveillance cameras and the separation wall, to the multiple incursions by armed men, which corresponded to the contents of the document.
Second, how exactly did Hamas obtain this important information about the Israeli army?This is undoubtedly a question worth digging into. The New York Times pointed out that Hamas's ability to obtain such detailed intelligence may mean that there is a possibility of leaks within the Israeli army, which is also a worrying reality. Most importantly, why did the Israeli military fail to stop the Hamas attack when it learned of the plan?This raises questions about the capabilities and efficiency of Israel's military and intelligence services. Some analysts have pointed out that the occurrence of this incident may have exposed the Israeli military's negligence in intelligence collection and handling, and also highlighted the problems existing in the management and secrecy system within the Israeli military. In the face of this report, one cannot help but wonder if there are serious management loopholes in the Israeli militaryIs there a need for a comprehensive review and reform of the intelligence-gathering and processing mechanism?In addition, how should Israel** respond to the questions and concerns of the international community about this incident?These are all questions that need to be deeply thought about and solved. In this incident, it is not only a contest between the Israeli military and Hamas, but also highlights the importance of intelligence security and anti-terrorism prevention.
How to ensure the security and reliability of intelligence and how to strengthen the prevention and crackdown on potential attack plans are issues that all countries need to seriously consider and solve. Only by strengthening international cooperation and jointly dealing with terrorism and extremist forces can we better safeguard regional and world peace and security. Therefore, this report, which has attracted widespread attention, is not only about the confrontation between Israel and Hamas, but also raises people's thinking about intelligence security, counter-terrorism prevention and international cooperation. It is hoped that Israel** will be able to give a reasonable explanation and handle this incident, strengthen the management and supervision of intelligence work, and ensure that similar incidents do not happen again. At the same time, it is hoped that the international community will strengthen cooperation and make joint efforts to effectively prevent and combat terrorism and maintain world peace and tranquility. What is it that the Israeli military's blunder in the Hamas attack turned out to be a serious miscalculation?It turned out that the Israeli military did not believe that Hamas had the capacity to carry out a large-scale attack plan, and that when evaluating the Hamas action plan last year, it was unable to determine the purpose of Hamas's plan and whether it would adopt it.
However, in July, an Israeli intelligence analyst warned that Hamas was conducting intensive military training similar to Hamas's attack plan. Even more shocking, internal Israeli military email records show that intelligence analysts' warnings were ignored to the point that the Hamas attack took place unexpectedly. It has been learned that the Israeli army has privately admitted that if it pays more attention to Hamas's danger signals and intelligence and deploys its troops in a timely manner, it may be able to prevent the attack from happening. This serious miscalculation raises the question of why the Israeli military failed to respond to the Hamas attackHow did this happen?
