Hamas 'operation al-Aqsa flood': How did Israeli intelligence services not see this coming?

Description

Palestinian Islamist group Hamas launched the biggest attack on Israel in years on Saturday, killing at least 70 people and claiming it had taken dozens of hostages in a surprise assault combining gunmen crossing into Israel and a barrage of rockets fired from Gaza. The offensive caught the country completely off guard. For more on Israel’s failure to anticipate the attack, FRANCE 24 is joined by Michael Kobi, Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for National Strategic Studies.
