Hamas Deceived Israeli Intelligence in Massive October 7 Attack

Newly uncovered documents reveal Hamas' long-term strategy and Iranian involvement in planning a large-scale assault on Israel.

Hamas orchestrated a surprise attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, involving over 2,000 rockets and resulting in significant casualties and kidnappings.
Israeli intelligence was misled by Hamas into believing the group was not interested in escalating conflict, allowing them to build up military capabilities secretly.
Documents reveal that Hamas planned attacks on Israeli landmarks, aiming for a symbolic impact akin to the 9/11 attacks in the United States.
Despite ambitious plans, many of Hamas' strategies, such as targeting infrastructure, lacked practical implementation details.
Israel responded to the attacks with military operations in Gaza, leading to high casualties and drawing international criticism for its tactics.
