A year after Hamas attacked Israel in 2023, details have emerged revealing failures in preparations for the invasion.
IDF officers warned of the dangers of Hamas's plan, but their messages were ignored. Intelligence revealed Hamas' plan for a massive raid two-and-a-half years ago, but the commander called it “impractical” without taking action.
The major and other officers sent messages to management detailing the threat. But the plan to defend against the raid was curtailed after the commander left. In 2023, intelligence detected signs that Hamas was preparing for an attack, but the warning signs were underestimated. Increased combat readiness was achieved only a few hours before the attack.
Operation Wall Guardian attempted to destroy the Hamas tunnels, but the plan only partially worked. Inside the IDF, the operation is viewed as a tactical success, but experts consider it a strategic failure. Investigations revealed many shortcomings related to ignoring the threat of a raid and deficiencies in defense.
