Israeli officials had an intimate understanding of Hamas' brutal October 7 terrorist attack over a year before it happened, but brushed off the battle plan as too aspirational for the group to pull off, a bombshell report has claimed.
In a 40-page document obtained by The New York Times, Hamas laid out a detailed plan to carry out its assault on Israel that ultimately led to the deaths of approximately 1,200 people in a day.
The blueprint reportedly did not set a date for the attack, but offered an exhaustive look at the terrorist group's strategy, including a targeting fortifications around the Gaza Strip while storming key military bases and division headquarters.
According to the outlet, the plans within the document were followed by Hamas with chilling precision in the attacks last month, raising questions as to why Israel failed to take steps to prevent it.
It is also claimed that officials admitted they could have stopped, or at least blunted, the October 7 attacks had they taken a number of urgent warnings from analysts seriously...
Hamas appeared to have a far better grasp on Israel's apparatus than previously known, as the document included extensive, sensitive details on the location and size of Israel's military forces and communication hubs.
This has also raised questions as to how Hamas was able to obtain this information, and the possibility of leaks within Israeli intelligence.
Despite the chilling details found in the document, which was circulated widely within Israeli military and intelligence circles, experts reportedly determined that the attack was far too ambitious for Hamas to achieve.
It is not known if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saw the document.

The big questions: Who made the call to ignore these warnings. And why.
That’s probably been on the table for 20 years...at least...and it probably is looked at every couple years...
I think Israel was more worried about Hezbollah.
Perhaps not prevent it, but it wouldn't hurt to have a few dozen troops in the area 24/7.
as if the NYT is such a bastion of truth and accuracy...
Watch this video for very good analysis:

Oh, well, hell... With the obvious open source media and intel that's still on the table and, more recently, in their face - why not just exercise the Samson option now, and get it all over with! Goodbye, Mecca, goodnight, Iran, adios you so called "Palestinians"! Oh, but then the little brains would be critical of that, now, too.
General Aharon Haliva is chief of military intelligence.
You are supposed to plan based on what your enemy CAN do. Not on what you think he might do.
Ok. So what penalty will he pay?
Before the attack, the Israeli left, with the support of the Biden regime, had been going all out to make it seem like the Palestinians were the good guys and Netanyahu and his allies were the bad guys. This was not a climate where Israelis would be on edge and super-cautious about security.
I’m VERY suspicious of this, considering the source. It’s possible that the Biden regime planted this story, through it’s fake news surrogates, as leverage to trash Benjamin Netanyahu.
The MSM usually lies by cherry picking facts. Ignoring some things, amplifying other things. They don't generally outright lie about having received a document. It'd be too easy to refute.
Resign with a pension, face an inquiry board. Keep pension.
Bad blood between government factions wouldn’t be enough to trigger this.
General Aharon Haliva needs to be in jail
The DailyMail? What, quotes from CNN were not available?
Geesh.
Netanyahu has only been PM for 10 months.
One year ago Yair Lapid was PM
Before Lapin, Bennett was PM
So if they got this information a year ago they can’t blame Netanyahu
The entire nation of Israel was on High Alert for three weeks BEFORE the attack - because of the Yom Kippur holiday.
Did the battle plan explain that 2,000 amphetamine fueled, teenage, Suicide Soldiers would penetrate LESS than four miles into Israel, and 1,500 of those Suicide Soldiers would be dead twenty-four hours later?
Interesting side note is that the analysts were all women assigned the task of watching the border from outpost locations (spotters) and their commanders, many of whom were killed in the Oct 7th attack by Hamas. Survivors believe their warnings were not taken seriously because they were women.
Shin Bet has much to answer for...ignoring the warnings and leaving these lightly armed outposts vulnerable to attack.
