Hamas used reassurance messages to deceive Israel before October 7
A study revealed that Hamas employed a strategy of deception and misdirection prior to the October 7, 2023 attack, leveraging a network of double agents and secret directives to mislead Israel into believing that conditions in Gaza were normal. This allowed Hamas to mobilize its forces and conceal its intent to attack. The study confirmed that Hamas carried out disinformation operations involving reassurance messages and secret dates for negotiations regarding prisoner releases, aiming to weaken Israel's reaction. This strategy is inspired by Egypt's tactics during the October War. Ultimately, the findings indicate that Hamas was implementing a complex plan of military and political deception to facilitate the attack and avoid early detection by the Israeli occupation.
