Hamas's plan is a mortal threat, and Israel has failed to take it seriously. The document, code-named "The Jericho Wall," details Hamas's plan to launch a devastating attack on Israel, yet the Israeli military and intelligence** consider it difficult for Hamas to implement the plan, dismissing it as utopian and not taking it seriously. The New York Times reported that the misstep led to the deadliest day in Israel's history, and the document exposed Israel's worst intelligence blunder since the 1973 Arab-Israeli war.
The document details Hamas's operational plans, including firing rockets, destroying security cameras, and occupying Israeli cities, which actually took place. It also includes details about the location and size of Israeli forces, communications hubs, and other sensitive information, raising questions about how Hamas gathers intelligence and whether there are leaks within Israel's security apparatus.
Not only that, but the title of the document, "The Wall of Jericho," refers to ancient fortifications in the modern West Bank, and it also quotes a phrase from the Qur'an: "Raid them through the gates." If you do, you will win. "Since October 7, Hamas has used this phrase widely in its ** and statements, which shows that Hamas attaches great importance to this plan. Against this backdrop, the Gaza branch of the Israeli military has failed to fully recognize the threat posed by Hamas and has even ignored the warnings of a senior analyst.
In an email exchange, the analyst wrote: "I completely dismiss this as an imaginary scenario. She said Hamas's training Xi fit perfectly with the content of the 'Jericho Wall'. "This undoubtedly exposes a miscalculation of Hamas's capabilities within Israel. And it turns out that the level of Hamas's attacks is far greater than Israel** expected. If the Israeli military had heeded these warnings and redeployed large reinforcements to areas where Hamas had carried out, the attack could have been weakened or even prevented.
However, when *** poured out of the Gaza Strip, the Israeli military was unprepared. This is a serious misstep, and Israeli security has admitted that they have failed to protect the country, and it is expected that a commission will be set up to study the events leading up to the attack. This incident completely upended the Israeli** and military's perception of Hamas's capabilities. The Israeli military and the Israeli Security Service, which is responsible for counterterrorism in Gaza, declined to comment, but in some way confirmed their miscalculation of Hamas.
In the face of this intelligence failure, it is necessary for Israel** and the military to reflect deeply, strengthen intelligence collection and analysis, and respond to potential threats in a more scientific manner. After all, the accuracy and timeliness of intelligence will have a direct bearing on the security and stability of the country.
