Israeli Intelligence: Missed Warnings and Political Fallout
TL;DR
Israeli intelligence failed to piece together clues about Hamas' large-scale attack due to the complexity of intelligence analysis and the concealment of the plot. Israel's intelligence system consists of Shin Bet for domestic security, Mossad for foreign security, and military intelligence agencies. Unlike the US, Israel lacks an overall intelligence coordinator. The US and Israel have a strong bilateral intelligence relationship, but the US may have shifted its intelligence priorities, leading to a lack of significant intelligence on the Hamas plot.
