October 7 attacks: Israel's intelligence failures

A year after Palestinian armed groups breached Gaza’s security fence and led a simultaneous wave of assaults on Israeli communities and outposts, FRANCE 24 looks at the intelligence failures that led to the October 7 attacks. There was plenty of warning that Hamas was planning a large-scale assault: suspicious movements along the border with Gaza, as well as a huge military parade taking place inside the enclave. But Israeli authorities ignored them. FRANCE 24’s Claire Duhamel examines how the threat from Hamas was underestimated at the highest echelons of the Israeli army and state.
