The Wall Street Journal reported that Egypt issued a series of warnings to Israel before the October 7, 2023 operation. The alerts included a direct call from then-Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel to Israeli leadership about deteriorating conditions in Gaza.
The warnings preceded the attack by weeks, according to the Journal's account of communications between Cairo and Jerusalem in the months leading up to October 7.
