Hamas Gathered Intelligence on Gaza Border Towns for 7 Years before Oct. 7
(Times of Israel) Hamas was monitoring local Israeli leaders, security officers, and individual communities near the border with Gaza for at least seven years before the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre, Israel's Channel 12 revealed Sunday. One document seized from Hamas computers, dated November 2020, showed the IP addresses and serial numbers of all the security cameras in the Sha'ar Hanegev Regional Council and Ashkelon beach areas. Another document featured a list of security guards working in the Sha'ar Hanegev area, with their phone numbers. The report showed pages of case files on each community, with assessments of the status of the attack plan for each one. The Hamas terrorists involved in the Oct. 7 attack were selected from among hundreds of elite commandos and underwent training for several years.
