VINDICATED: Israeli Intelligence Knew October 7 Attack Plan a Year in Advance

• VINDICATED: Israeli Intelligence Knew October 7 Attack Plan a Year in Advance
  by Armageddon Prose, https://www.zerohedge.com/
  On October 8^th, the day after the Hamas attack, I penned an article calling bullshit on the “intelligence failure” narrative that emerged immediately in the aftermath — how could the governing authorities and media call it confidently an “intelligence failure” mere hours after the event? — just as the same narrative emerged just following the 9/11 attacks in Manhattan and DC.

  Although I always take the time to carefully weigh evidence before making any definitive statements, as responsible journalists do, I didn’t feel compelled to wait or hedge in this case because it was palpably clear from the start that the narrative was total propaganda and would subsequently be debunked in the coming days and weeks. Even based on the limited evidence available on October 8^th, basic logic defied the “intelligence failure” story:
  –
  ·       Gaza is among the, if not the, most heavily surveilled strips of land on Earth, both from the air (satellite and drone surveillance) and via Mossad spooks on the ground (what the so-called “intelligence community” calls “human intelligence” or “humint” because it loves insular jargon)
  ·       Gaza is among the most densely populated strips of land on Earth
  ·       The Israeli government controls all of Gaza’s borders in a total siege-style blockade. Nothing goes in or out without the state’s blessing
  ·       The October 8 operation involved tens of thousands of operatives and a bevy of equipment that would be virtually impossible to move into and around Gaza without detection
  ·       Hamas clearly had international financial and logistical support, which could not have flowed into the strip without detection
