Hello and salam all.
Someone catch the mouse. How the hell this happen?



The question regarding what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu knew about the activation of Israeli SIM cards in Gaza – the first indications of a Hamas attack on the night between October 6 and 7 – is at the heart of the slew of investigations into the prime minister’s office that became public over the past week, according to Yediot Ahronot reporter Ronen Bergman.

From Jerusalem Post:

IDF intel. saw Hamas using hundreds of Israeli SIM cards in Gaza before Oct. 7​

From Israel Hayom:

Many Gaza cellphones switched SIMs hours before Oct. & attack, declassified intel shows​

From Times of Israel:

Hours before Hamas attack, IDF noticed dozens of terrorists activating Israeli SIMs​

From Haaretz:

Israel Intelligence Agencies Detected Israeli SIM Cards Activated by Hamas Hours Before Oct 7 Assault​

This latter article begins ...

Israeli intelligence agencies identified that cellphones with Israeli SIM cards were activated by Hamas operatives in the Gaza Strip on the morning of October 7.​

​

This was a sign of unusual activity, which triggered a meeting of the defense establishment during those early hours. The prevailing assessment during the discussions was that it was an exercise by Hamas or, in an extreme scenario, preparation for a limited-scale hostage-taking attempt.​

​

The Prime Minister's Office, in response to Haaretz's inquiry, stated that "Netanyahu was not aware of this until now."​

​

Even though the defense establishment did not anticipate the extent of the infiltration by Hamas militants, an alert was issued among security agencies about the possibility of the organization attempting an attack within Israeli territory on the eve of October 7.​

I believe that the investigation of Netanyahu is fully warranted, but there is, in my opinion, a far more important lesson.

One persistent argument from the Netanyahu regime, and from the Israeli right that supports it, is that the barbaric carnage in Gaza is justified because it is the only way to prevent the next October 7th. That claim is little more that a convenient lie -- a cynical lie which serves only to preserve the Netanyahu regime at the cost of the Gazan people, the Israeli people, and the hostages still in captivity.

Thanks for share.
I believe if Netanyaho's son was among the hostages, Israel will not drop any bomb on Gaza.
