In a surprising turn of events, Ronen Bar, the Director of the Israeli Security Service, has taken personal responsibility for the agency’s failure to prevent the recent Hamas attack on Israeli territory. According to a report by Ynet, Bar acknowledged that the full blame lies with him.
Despite all the preventive measures taken, the agency was unable to provide the necessary conditions to avert the Hamas attack, as stated by Bar. This admission comes after the United States Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, announced that the US, Israel, Egypt, and the UN are working together to establish a mechanism for assisting the Gaza Strip.
On October 7th, Hamas forces launched thousands of rockets into Israeli territory, marking the beginning of their operation called “Flood of Al-Aqsa.” Thousands of militants infiltrated Israeli territory, seizing dozens of military vehicles and over a hundred hostages. Against this backdrop, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the country was in a state of war.
The Israeli Defense Forces’ counter-operation, named “Iron Swords,” aims to destroy Hamas. The Israeli Air Force has conducted strikes on hundreds of Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip, while the Israeli National Security Council has decided to suspend the supply of water, food, goods, electricity, and fuel to the region.
