Former Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant claims that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar warned Israel before the October 7, 2023, attack through a Shin Bet channel, stating he would “shake the prisons.” According to Gallant, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received warnings from foreign leaders but did not inform him or other senior officials. This omission, if true, constitutes a failure in security assessment, Gallant argues. Additionally, Gallant asserts that Netanyahu excluded defence ministers from sensitive communications with US officials during the conflict, leading to mistrust among American counterparts. The article reports on disputes over Netanyahu's handling of pre-attack warnings and communication during the attack that resulted in 1,200 deaths.

Story summary
Former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant claimed on Sunday that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar had warned Israel before October 7, 2023, when Hamas attacked and killed over 1,200 Israelis. According to Gallant, Sinwar stated he would "shake the prisons," a message conveyed through Shin Bet, Israel's security agency.
Gallant also alleged that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received warnings from foreign leaders before the attack but did not inform senior security officials like Gallant himself about these alerts. He criticized Netanyahu for treating such serious security matters as political assets rather than addressing them seriously. Additionally, Gallant accused Netanyahu of excluding key Israeli defense figures from critical discussions with the US during the conflict, highlighting a breakdown in communication and coordination within Israel's highest levels of government regarding national security.

“Assuming these things are true, such a warning that a prime minister receives from the leader of a country is not a political asset; it is a fundamental failure in the overall assessment of the situation,” he said.

“During the war, I learned many times about important conversations Netanyahu held with the Americans on the most sensitive issues, such as hostages and ammunition, only after the Americans called me and tried to verify what had been said in those conversations,” Gallant said.
