A recent report by The New York Times published on November 30 reveals that a blueprint containing the details of the October 7 attack by Hamas was in the knowledge of Israeli officials, however, they dismissed it as aspirational.

Ronen Bergman and Adam Goldman, both stationed in Tel Aviv, claim to have reviewed the classified 40-page document, code-named ‘Jericho Wall’ by the Israeli authorities.

The Times team, who reviewed the translated document, stated that it does not point out the exact date for the attack but lays out the detailed methodical assault designed to invade the Israeli region around Gaza. “Hamas followed the blueprint with shocking precision,” reports The New York Times.

The document was circulated among top intelligence officials in Israel more than a year ago but they deemed it beyond Hamas’ capabilities. The Times team sheds light on the doubtful approach of the Israeli intelligence. “It is not yet possible to determine whether the plan has been fully accepted and how it will be manifested,” read a military assessment reviewed by The Times.

However, it is not confirmed if Prime Minister Netanyahu saw the document or not.

The research also explains that a colonel in the Gaza division brushed off the warning made by an analyst who claimed that Hamas conducted military exercises as per the content of Jericho Wall, according to encrypted emails viewed by The Times.

The article goes on to explain the glaring similarities between the attack by Hamas and the intelligence report of the Jericho Wall.

While the October seven attack has been dubbed the deadliest attack in Israel’s history and the Israeli military has accepted that they failed to protect their state, it has netizens wondering if the Israeli authorities deliberately let it happen to have an excuse to attack Gaza.

How is it possible that "Jericho Wall" is not trending?? Israel knew about Hamas' plans for the attack on Oct 7th… and allowed it to happen! They wanted to have an excuse to destroy Gaza and claim it! That's what they're doing now! #StopGazaGenocide pic.twitter.com/kpGV79jt9u

#JerichoWall report proves #Israel knew about planned Hamas attack a year before it happened and did nothing to stop it.
Clearly Netanyahu wanted this war for his own political survival. 1200 Jews died and 15,000 Palestinians have been killed by IDF. US gov’t backs genocide. pic.twitter.com/nATwlGemYC

However, there are some criticising the government of Israel for putting the life of so many at risk and benefitting from the situation to the fullest.

Opération Jericho Wall :

Isreal had Hamas’s plan to launch the attack on October 7th a year ago but sat on the intelligence. I think everyone suspected there was an intelligence failure but this revelation is a damning indictment on the Israeli government’s incompetence . 40… pic.twitter.com/VYDQ2ChQ9P

White House Correspondent for ABC News has informed on Twitter that a senior official at the White House has denied to have any knowledge about the Jericho Wall document.

U.S. official: “There are no indicators at this time that the IC (intelligence community) was provided the purported ‘Jericho Wall’ document reported last night by the New York Times. The IC will certainly continue to review its information.”https://t.co/4pq8gIZN2P
