Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was personally and explicitly warned that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was planning a major attack roughly 10 days before the October 7 massacre, but dismissed the threat and did not alert his security chiefs, according to a shocking new Haaretz report.

The revelations come from research for an upcoming book Hostages: 843 Days of Abandonment, written by journalists Shlomi Eldar and Ruth Yuval, who writes for Haaretz.

    I suspect that Hamas and Hezbollah are currently planning to do something horrible some day in the future.

    Next time they do something horrible, you can say there was some guy on the internet that knew about it ahead of time.

      I mean… the IDF does something horrible multiple times a week.

      the blowback from this war is going to echo tragically for ages.
