HEADLINES
IDF strikes Gaza after border rocket fire
Lapid says Netanyahu ignored warnings before massacre
Indictment cites 8200 operative could erase records
The time is now 8:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In the Disputed Territories (Gaza, Judea and Samaria, East Jerusalem), the Israel Defense Forces say it struck a terrorist infrastructure in Gaza shortly before, in response to rocket fire at troops operating along the northern Gaza border near the blue line, with no injuries to Israeli forces reported. Separately, an indictment connected to a Gaza-related case cites claims that an operative from Unit 8200 could erase records from military systems; the IDF denies any knowledge of such actions. Gaza sources describe Hamas-backed smuggling networks and large captagon shipments.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, former prime minister and opposition leader Yair Lapid said Netanyahu ignored repeated warnings in the days and months leading up to the October 7 massacre, citing intelligence documents published this week. Lapid posted on X that the defense echelon warned repeatedly and that Netanyahu ignored those warnings, warning of a dangerous trajectory and a possible multi-front confrontation. In related travel news, Sara and Yair Netanyahu spent five weeks in Miami and, after multiple delays, boarded a flight back to Israel as officials remained silent while details emerged about a costly and reinforced Shin Bet security operation. Netanyahu released pre-October 7 intel documents, arguing that defense echelon urged keeping Hamas in power and misread Hamas’s intentions; the documents, dating from February 2023 to an hour before the attack, contribute to Netanyahu's narrative of systemic failure, and he has said he will not establish a commission of inquiry. One document is a summary of a high-level security assessment held on September 27, 2023.
