Confirmed: Israel DID KNOW about Hamas’ plans BEFORE October 7th.

Right, so one of the issues surrounding the night of October 7th, when Hamas struck a music festival and nearby Israeli kibbutzes in order to take hostages, was whether or not Israel knew about the attack coming. This has been vehemently denied by Israel, people who have opined publicly that they were of the opinion Israel knew, Egypt claims to have told them in advance, yet this line of interrogation has been quashed by international leaders, dismissed as nonsense and offensive. One example that springs to mind was Labour’s candidate in the Rochdale by-election a few months ago now. One of the reasons Starmer withdrew support was because that candidate Azhar Ali, had apparently publicly stated that Israel knew because of Egypt’s warnings.
Well now it seems, that the long dismissed as conspiracy thinking that Israel knew in advance has now been confirmed, but you find anything about this written in any of our mainstream media, who have it seems collectively decided you don’t need to know about it, because this changes absolutely everything about the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
Right, so the events of October 7th, we’re all pretty familiar with this story by now, at least insofar as how it has been told to us by our media, that Hamas invaded southern Israel, took hostages and went on a rampage of death a destruction. This is the main narrative that has been sold to us, but it’s also been heavily disputed for a long while. Egypt for one have maintained that they warned Israel something was brewing from Hamas, the watering down of security forces in the area on that night has been remarked upon, the Nova music festival which was allowed to go ahead, which Hamas apparently were not aware of and so on and so forth.
But now we’ve had indisputable confirmation that Israel did know this attack was coming, in which case their actions leading up to the night of October 7th bear more scrutiny now and need to be seen in a whole new light, and ask did they let this happen, did they let their people be taken, attacked, in order to facilitate a move against Gaza?
All of this has come to light because of a leaked document, a government leak, as is so often the case when governments are doing something truly awful, a leak has taken place, showing that Israeli forces knew a strike by Hamas was coming as early as the 19th September last year, 3 weeks before October 7th and to give credence to this leak, it was actually reported on Israeli state news, on TV, by Kan, which is basically the Israeli equivalent of the BBC.
The leaked report is called ‘Detailed End-to-End Raid Training’ and this was distributed on September 19th 2023, describing in detail what Hama units were doing, the exercises they were running through. These included raiding military posts and the kibbutzim, and maintaining the hostages in the Gaza Strip afterwards. It also detailed the intention to take between 200 and 250 hostages, which is very close obviously, to the 251 who were actually taken. Here’s an excerpt from Israeli paper Haaretz’s coverage:
‘According to a Monday night report presented by Israel's public broadcaster, Kan, the document, which is based on information from military intelligence's 8200 Unit, began circulating on September 19, less than three weeks before the October 7 massacre.
The unnamed sources who provided Kan with the document, also claim its contents were brought to the attention of at least some senior intelligence officials but apparently ignored. The memo highlights the extent to which the IDF's Gaza Division was aware of a potential attack on Israel's southern border communities.
The document, titled "Detailed End-to-End Raid Training," goes into startling detail, beginning with a description of a series of exercises conducted by Hamas' elite Nukhba units in the weeks prior to its publication. "At 11 A.M., several companies were observed converging at the beginning of the training sessions, not before prayer and lunch," the memo recounts.
"At 12 P.M., equipment and weapons were distributed to the terrorists, and then an exercise of the company's headquarters took place. At 2 P.M. the raid began." According to the document, the Nukhba units were given an order that was highlighted: Search the area when you leave and leave no documents behind.
Kan also reported that Hamas commandos practiced infiltrating a mock IDF outpost, simulating bases on the Gaza border. The exercise was carried out by four companies from the terror group, with each assigned a different outpost.
The raid targets described in the document, which include - IDF command and control headquarters, base synagogues, squadron headquarters, communications headquarters and soldiers' quarters - closely mirror the locations hit by Hamas forces during the early morning hours of October 7.’
Detailed down to the timing of attacks. Detailed down to the targets chosen and reflected in them actually getting hit.
One of the questions raised when Hamas got into Israel is how exactly they managed it, Gaza is the largest open air concentration camp in the world after all, it’s basically a prison, you can’t come and go as you please. Two years prior to the attack on October 7th, a new security barrier was erected, supposedly making a breach of the Israel Gaza border improbable. However on the night of October 7th, the barrier failed and even an outlet as pro Israeli government as the Jerusalem Post has described this as an intelligence and security oversight. The question now is, was it really an oversight?
Another aspect to this is the Nova music festival. If this strike was known about, and known about in the detail it was, why was this music festival allowed to go ahead? Was this Israeli arrogance that Hamas couldn’t possibly manage this, or was it more a case of, put even more people in front of them that they can take? Is it still unreasonable to think in those terms now that we know what Israeli security knew about and yet permitted anyway?
People were taken from the music festival, which was between Gaza and the kibbutzim, people were taken from the kibbutzim too. The security barrier failed, Israel knew timings, knew numbers, knew targets and that is just from this one leaked document we now know about, it wasn’t the only warning they had.
So the question this now begs is how do we look at the situation regarding October 7th? With everything that Israel apparently knew in advance, how did this all still come to pass?
Why did they allow the music festival to take place where it took place, knowing an attack was imminent? Why did they place people in a vulnerable position knowing Hamas planned to take hostages?
Why did the security barrier just happen to fail right then and there? Was it Hamas disabling it somehow, or was it intentionally done so?
Look at Israeli attacks on the Nova music festival too, the helicopter strikes, the attacks on their own civilians, so called Hannibal Directives, to kill their own people rather than let them be taken hostage. Was this allowed to happen to give Israel the excuse to essentially begin a genocide, an ethnic cleansing of Gaza?
Look at what they’ve done in Gaza since October 7th, is this all about destroying Hamas, or about a land grab? Netanyahu wants total victory, he won’t stop until Hamas are destroyed, but they are now having to return to areas they’ve already obliterated in that pursuit.
If it was all about getting the hostages back, which I don’t think anyone believes has ever been the intention, they’ve failed having killed more of their own people than they’ve rescued, which has caused considerable disgust amongst the Israeli populace. 37,000 Gazans have been killed, mainly women and children, so that doesn’t say taking on Hamas to me, that is genocide and having forcibly displaced virtually the whole population of Gaza into the south, into Rafah, with strikes happening there daily now as well, in what way can this be seen as anything other than attacks on the entire Gazan people? To what end? Surely it’s obviously about the land?
You only need look at Netanyahu’s government for that. The War Cabinet has collapsed since the National Unity Party of Benny Gantz pulled out. Gantz wanted to know Netanyahu’s long term goal for Gaza and he wouldn’t provide it. Gantz and his people left the coalition.
On the other end of the spectrum you have Netanyahu’s far right partners Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir wanting that land for settlers, Ben Gvir particularly is viewed as a hero by Nahala, by the settler movement, whereas other Israelis cannot abide the little madman. They want Gaza for Israeli occupation, they want the people of Gaza shipped off elsewhere, Netanyahu loses his control on the levers of power without them, who’s to say this wasn’t all planned? Ben Gvir is the Security minister, how come his security forces did not secure against this Hamas incursion in light of these forces knowing about this potential attack, in detail?
Israel either entirely failed to protect their own people knowing an attack was coming, or they let it happen intentionally, giving them the excuse to retaliate, on a scale way past anything that con be described as proportionate. Therefore putting the blame solely and squarely on Hamas for what they did – no excusing that of course – is no longer the whole story of the night of October 7th and Israel’s failure or intent of that night must now be questioned. Why our media here in the UK are completely ignoring this and not asking these questions is showing an appalling bias towards keeping the narrative where it is now, calling into question again the closeness between the mainstream media and government, still as vociferously pro Israel as ever. What do you reckon Israel’s motivations were in light of this revelation?
What Israel’s actions, either through incompetence or intent also sparked however was conflict on it’s northern border with Lebanon as Hezbollah have now driven tens of thousands of Israeli’s from their homes in the north in retaliation for what has happened in Gaza and things are escalating even more now. Was all this worth it to Israel I wonder? Get the details of that new frontline conflict in this video recommendation here and I’ll hopefully catch you on the next vid. Cheers folks.
