How the resistance caught off guard on October 7
Israeli investigations reveal that the surprise attack on October 7 was the result of the resistance's ability to conceal its intentions and manipulate the estimates of the occupation, coupled with the Israeli intelligence agencies' failure to accurately interpret and understand the information. Six main factors have been identified as contributing to this failure, including conceptual and intelligence shortcomings, a lack of serious consideration of the "Ariha Walls" plan, as well as a disturbed operational culture and mistakes made during decision-making amidst the assault. Documents released in 2026 showed that Hamas had been executing a strategic deception plan since 2022, which involved repeated drills and extensive military activity near the borders to confuse the occupation and reinforce its belief that Hamas had no intention of engaging in a large-scale war. The movement also used negotiation messages and displayed patterns of routine activity to create distraction, while Israeli forces relied on incomplete estimates that allowed Hamas's plan to succeed in surprising the world.
