‘This was communicated at every level’: Netanyahu military aide reveals internal warnings before October 7

Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received internal warnings of potential war ahead of the October 7 attacks, according to Maj. Gen. Avi Gil, a former military aide. Gil revealed that there were "enormous gaps" between what the public knows and what truly occurred during the wars deadliest attacks. He stated that Israel's security establishment perceived the country's enemies as recognizing weaknesses in Israeli society and deterrence as eroded.
