Former Israeli Defence Minister Confirms Hamas Warning Before October 7 Attack
Former Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant revealed that Israeli intelligence received a warning from Hamas weeks before the October 7, 2023 attack. The message, conveyed through Shin Bet, included a warning from Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar about "shaking the prisons," linked to the kidnapping of Elizabeth Tsurkov. Gallant also alleged that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu excluded him from key discussions with US officials during the war and that US officials had limited trust in Netanyahu. Gallant served as defence minister until November 2024.
