What did Israel know about Hamas’ October 7 attack?

CNN  

CNN — Hamas’ surprise attack on October 7 left Israel flat-footed, sparking a backlash that is still rippling through the country. Israeli officials obtained a document describing Hamas’ battle plan for its October 7 terror attack more than a year before the militant group carried out the assault, the New York Times reported Thursday, citing documents, emails and interviews. A US official told CNN Friday that the US government had no prior knowledge of the “Jericho Wall” document that the New York Times reported on that purportedly detailed Hamas’ battle plan of the October 7 attack. “There are no indicators at this time that the intelligence community was provided the purported ‘Jericho Wall’ document reported last night by the New York Times,” the official said. Intelligence shared with the US suggested a small cell of Hamas operatives planned the deadly surprise attack via a network of hardwired phones built into the network of tunnels underneath Gaza over a period of two years, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN in late October.
