Israelis grapple with reports that Netanyahu was warned of Oct. 7 attack in advance
On the third anniversary of Israel's deadliest day, Israelis are weighing reports that Benjamin Netanyahu repeatedly received warnings from regional allies about a Hamas attack.
Three years have passed since Oct. 7, a date regarded in Israel as the deadliest day in the country's history. On this anniversary, Israelis are confronting new reports alleging that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received repeated warnings about a possible Hamas attack.
According to the reports, the warnings came from allies in the region. That suggests information about the threat may have been available long before the attack took place.
The reports have sparked debate within Israeli society just as the country marks the anniversary. The source material is brief and does not provide further details about the circumstances, the content of the warnings or any response from Netanyahu.
