Israeli, Hamas and Hezbollah Intelligence
The attacks against Israel launched by HAMAS on 7th October 2023 were undoubtedly a strategic surprise to Israel and the world in general. They opened up a debate about intelligence failure and the relationship between intelligence failure and policy failure. Some commentators pointed out that while this may have been an intelligence failure for Israel, it was a counterintelligence success for HAMAS, which had kept its plans and capabilities hidden. In the interests of informing debate about the intelligence issues raised by the attacks, Intelligence and National Security has made a collection of articles on Israeli, HAMAS, and Hezbollah intelligence available free of charge for a limited period.
