An Israeli newspaper says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was directly warned by the president of the United Arab Emirates that Hamas was planning a major offensive just days before the militant group attacked on Oct. 7, 2023.
Source? AFAIK Hamas mostly does rocket attacks, not boots on the ground operations.
They looked into the warnings and it seemed very unlikely they would fly over the wall or escalate beyond small hit and run rocket attacks.
I mean, it’s part of the IDF’s job to respond to small hit and run attacks, being the Israeli Defense Force. Instead they were in the West Bank terrorizing Palestinians. Even if they underestimated the scale of the attack, they were warned by multiple sources that there would be a major attack soon.
A constant rocket attacks falls under “constant attack”. I didnt say boots on the ground invasion.
There had been warnings of a ground attack for a year and half with no credible evidence to suggest it was a real threat. You pick anytime since 2001 and you’ll find warnings of a major attack happening soon.
