Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – The United States (US) through its intelligence report revealed that the attack carried out by Hamas on Israel had been planned long beforehand. The report explains how the group was able to carry out its attacks without being detected by the US or Israel itself.
The clever way Hamas uses is to communicate in old-fashioned ways and avoid the modern technology currently available. Communication is carried out by a cable telephone network built in a tunnel under Gaza.
This ancient way of communication was carried out for two years. During that time, they communicated and planned operations and summoned hundreds of their members. However, there was no movement at all during that period until the attack was launched on October 7 2023.
The report also stated that Hamas also managed to escape detection by the US and Israel by avoiding the use of computers and cellphones. Members only communicate in designated areas.
“There wasn’t much discussion and back and forth and coordination outside the immediate area,” said one source, reported by CNN, quoted Saturday (4/11/2023).
The US Office of the Director of National Intelligence declined to comment and the Israeli embassy in Washington did not respond to a request for comment.
US and Israeli intelligence actually received strategic warnings. However, neither side could anticipate the October 7 attack.
For information, the tunnel was built in Gaza over the last fifteen years. The Israeli defense forces call it the ‘Gaza metro’.
The network of tunnels forms a vast labyrinth. It is a place to store things like rockets and ammunition as well as a way for militants to move without their opponents knowing.
According to Israeli forces, the Gaza metro also houses an important command and control center carried out by Hamas.
