Former Israel Security Agency deputy director Israel Hasson has called for a thorough investigation into the failures leading up to the October 7 Hamas attack. In an interview on 103FM, Hasson criticized conflicting accounts between then-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his military secretary Maj.-Gen. Avi Gil, and then-Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar.
Hasson emphasized the lack of concrete intelligence warning for the attack and the involvement of three thousand participants. He lamented the public disputes among security officials and political leaders, stating that a formal inquiry is needed to determine where the failures occurred and to prevent future incidents.
