More evidence that it was a false flag operation: Israel was aware of Hamas' October 7 attack since at least 2016!

From the first moment after Hamas' October 7 attack we pointed out that if we consider the fact that Hamas is actually Israel's fatal creature and that Netanyahu himself used Hamas as a tool to divide Palestinians and prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state, the October 7 attack has a strong smell of a false flag operation. 

More and more evidence comes to light showing that this is probably the case. Surprisingly enough, the most impressive evidence so far comes from NY Times, according to which, Israeli officials obtained Hamas’s battle plan for the Oct. 7 terrorist attack more than a year before it happened! As we read in the related article [emphasis added]:

 

Israeli officials obtained Hamas’s battle plan for the Oct. 7 terrorist attack more than a year before it happened, documents, emails and interviews show. [...]  The approximately 40-page document, which the Israeli authorities code-named “Jericho Wall,” outlined, point by point, exactly the kind of devastating invasion that led to the deaths of about 1,200 people.

 

The translated document, which was reviewed by The New York Times, did not set a date for the attack, but described a methodical assault designed to overwhelm the fortifications around the Gaza Strip, take over Israeli cities and storm key military bases, including a division headquarters.

 

Hamas followed the blueprint with shocking precision. The document called for a barrage of rockets at the outset of the attack, drones to knock out the security cameras and automated machine guns along the border, and gunmen to pour into Israel en masse in paragliders, on motorcycles and on foot — all of which happened on Oct. 7.

 

The plan also included details about the location and size of Israeli military forces, communication hubs and other sensitive information, raising questions about how Hamas gathered its intelligence and whether there were leaks inside the Israeli security establishment.

 

The document circulated widely among Israeli military and intelligence leaders, but experts determined that an attack of that scale and ambition was beyond Hamas’s capabilities, according to documents and officials.

 

[...]

in July, just three months before the attacks, a veteran analyst with Unit 8200, Israel’s signals intelligence agency, warned that Hamas had conducted an intense, daylong training exercise that appeared similar to what was outlined in the blueprint.

 

But a colonel in the Gaza division brushed off her concerns, according to encrypted emails viewed by The Times.

 

“I utterly refute that the scenario is imaginary,” the analyst wrote in the email exchanges. The Hamas training exercise, she said, fully matched “the content of Jericho Wall.”

 

“It is a plan designed to start a war,” she added. “It’s not just a raid on a village.”

 

[...]

 

Officials would not say how they obtained the Jericho Wall document, but it was among several versions of attack plans collected over the years. A 2016 Defense Ministry memorandum viewed by The Times, for example, says, “Hamas intends to move the next confrontation into Israeli territory.”

 

Such an attack would most likely involve hostage-taking and “occupying an Israeli community (and perhaps even a number of communities),” the memo reads.

 

The Jericho Wall document, named for the ancient fortifications in the modern-day West Bank, was even more explicit. It detailed rocket attacks to distract Israeli soldiers and send them hurrying into bunkers, and drones to disable the elaborate security measures along the border fence separating Israel and Gaza. 

Hamas fighters would then break through 60 points in the wall, storming across the border into Israel. The document begins with a quote from the Quran: “Surprise them through the gate. If you do, you will certainly prevail.”

The same phrase has been widely used by Hamas in its videos and statements since Oct. 7.

One of the most important objectives outlined in the document was to overrun the Israeli military base in Re’im, which is home to the Gaza division responsible for protecting the region. Other bases that fell under the division’s command were also listed.

Hamas carried out that objective on Oct. 7, rampaging through Re’im and overrunning parts of the base.

 

 

It is even more incredible the fact that, according to this information, Israel was aware since at least 2016, that Hamas could possibly design such an operation!

Yet, the revelations do not end here. According to Business Insider, based on information again from NY Times, Israel drove suitcases stuffed with cash into Gaza to keep Hamas in power! The details are impressive in this case too [emphasis added]:

 

... reporting in the New York Times has revealed that Netanyahu's government was more hands-on about helping Hamas: they helped a Qatari diplomat bring suitcases of cash into Gaza, indirectly boosting the militant organization, according to the report.

[...]

To keep Hamas propped up, Netanyahu's government worked with Qatari to keep the money flowing, the New York Times reported. Israel knew that Qatar was supporting Hamas, but didn't oppose the payments and even lobbied American lawmakers not to sanction Qatar.

 

[...]

Though the money was meant for Gazan civilians, Western intelligence determined that Hamas was taking money from the funds to use themselves, the outlet reported.

 

And there is more. According to MintPress News, suspicious Israeli stock market activity in the days preceding Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7 indicates that a particular party had foreknowledge of the impending attack and used that information to directly profit from the panic that ensued. As we read [emphasis added]:

 

... the shorting of dozens of Israeli companies listed on the Tel Aviv stock exchange “increased dramatically” before the attack. One firm alone saw 4.43 million new shares shorted from September 14 to October 5. On U.S. exchanges, too, there was a “sharp and unusual increase, just before the attacks” in highly risky short-dated options being placed on Israeli stocks, which expired almost immediately after the attack started.

 

Similarly, on October 2, the shorting of the MSCI Israel Exchange Traded Fund (ETF), a passive investment vehicle tracking the performance of the Israeli stock exchange overall, “suddenly, and significantly, spiked.” [...] it was one of the biggest bets on poor Israeli stock exchange performance since 2009.

 

This shorting “far exceeded” the shorting of Israeli stocks at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, which briefly produced one of the biggest international stock market collapses in history.

 

[...]

 

Another particularly compelling finding is the identification of “similar patterns” in trading of the Israeli ETF in April 2023 – right when, it has since been reported, Hamas was planning to execute a similar attack. The strike would’ve followed what transpired in October closely but was canceled after Tel Aviv publicly raised its national alert level due to Israeli intelligence agencies catching wind in advance.

The attack was timed to start on the eve of Passover, April 5. Two days earlier, the shorting of the Israeli ETF “peaked…at levels very similar to those observed” on October 2.

Note also that according to a 2007 WikiLeaks paper, former general in the Israeli Air Force, Amos Yadlin, "said Israel would be "happy" if Hamas took over Gaza because the IDF could then deal with Gaza as a hostile state." This information was also circulated among some US mainstream media at the time.

Remembering the Wikileaks cables on Palestine - part of our campaign to release Julian Assange.

One cable reveals that the Palestinian Authority had requested assistance from Israel in defeating Hamas. In another cable, we learn that Israel determined that Hamas’ rise in Gaza…

Of course, no one should be surprised if the Israeli intelligence would design such a false flag operation. Mossad, one of the most ruthless intelligence agencies, would certainly not hesitate to make it happen, even if it would meant that thousands of Palestinians or even Israelis, would lose their lives.

 

Here, for example, a former MI5 intelligence officer describes how Israel already done it before, by bombing its own London Embassy and blaming innocent Palestinians for it:

The brutal attack on Gaza by the Israeli fascist regime has only one goal: wipe out Palestinians from their land. Yet, some shocking statements from Israeli officials, openly calling for ethnic cleansing against Palestinians, is probably an attempt to hide the real goal of the Israeli regime, under the veil of religious fanaticism. And that goal has nothing to do with religion. It has to do with the rich gas reserves close to the Gazan shore. And the 2.3 million Gazans living in that tiny piece of land are a great barrier for the Israeli regime against its effort to exploit those reserves.
