Mossad Had Not Been Monitoring Gaza Since 2021
Contrary to some claims, the Mossad had not conducted major operations in Gaza before the October 7, 2023 attack, revealing internal tensions within Israeli security agencies
Assessment
The report claims Israel's Mossad stopped active surveillance of Gaza in 2021, two years before the October 7 attack, and conducted no major operations there in that period. This contradicts earlier assertions of robust intelligence coverage and points to internal friction among Israeli security agencies. The key question is whether this intelligence gap directly enabled the attack and what structural changes may follow.
