Israeli Gaza Division officer revealed
The Israeli Supreme Court revealed the identity of the intelligence officer Major Aryeh Ma'ayderdor, who served as the Gaza Division intelligence officer during the October 7, 2023 attack. He is the son of former National Security Council Chairman Yaakov Ma'ayderdor. This disclosure came after a lengthy legal battle spanning several years, during which his identity was restricted from publication until the court’s decision due to its public importance. It is noted that Ma'ayderdor completed his duties as an officer in January 2025 and continued military service until September 2026, following investigations into intelligence failures to anticipate the attack—particularly concerning the "Jericho Wall" plan, which had been known for years and included details of an extensive offensive against areas surrounding the Gaza Strip. Despite certain indicators and warnings from recruits and surveillance devices, they were not thoroughly assessed, leading to a failure to provide advance notice of the attack. This resulted in resignations and disciplinary actions at the highest levels of the Israeli military and security institutions.
