U.S. Assists Israel in Locating Hamas Leadership, Identifying Intelligence Gaps

Concerns Raised Over Civilian Protection as Israel Targets Hamas

U.S. is assisting Israel in locating Hamas leadership and identifying intelligence gaps that could have prevented the Oct. 7 attack, according to House Intelligence Committee chairman Mike Turner.
Israeli intelligence reportedly dismissed warnings of a potential Hamas attack, leading to a 'complete breakdown' on Oct. 7.
CIA Director William Burns has returned from the Middle East, where he worked to ensure U.S. intelligence is working closely with Israel to fill intelligence gaps.
U.S. is being selective in the information shared with Israel, not providing direct access to its intelligence.
Concerns are raised that Israel is not doing enough to protect civilians as it targets Hamas.
