Haaretz has uncovered warnings that preceded the October 7 attack, exposing failures by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government to act on intelligence, Shehab Wire reported. The newspaper's investigation documents alerts that went unheeded in the months before the assault, raising serious questions about Israel's security apparatus and its response to threat assessments.
The revelations have reignited debate over who bears responsibility for the sequence of events. Palestinian analysts point to a deeper question beneath the immediate operational failures: who established the underlying conditions that made such an explosion possible in the first place. The inquiry thus extends beyond Netanyahu's administration to examine the structural policies and occupation practices that preceded October 7.
