  "account": "The Supreme Court of Israel has ruled that the identity of Lt.-Col. Aryeh Amidror, the former intelligence officer of Gaza Division, may be disclosed to the public. Amidror is the son of Yaakov Amidror, a former head of the National Security Council.\n\nAccording to reports, Lt.-Col. Amidror dismissed warnings from a noncommissioned officer within Military Intelligence's Unit 8200 about early signs that Hamas was preparing for the October 7 attack. Despite these concerns, Amidror maintained that the so-called \"Jericho Wall\" plan was merely an \"imaginary scenario.\"\n\nFollowing the attack, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that Lt.-Col. Amidror had been released from military service. In November 2025, IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir ruled that several military officers, including Amidror, bore command responsibility for the massacre and recommended appropriate command-level measures.\n\nDue to his senior role as the division's intelligence officer, Lt.-Col. Amidror's case prompted a review to determine if he should be released from military service.",
  "summary": "Lt.-Col. Amidror is considered to have firmly rejected the possibility that Hamas would carry out its raid scenario, known as the \"Jericho Wall\" plan.",
