A former researcher in the Israel Defence Forces Intelligence Corps has shed light on the reasons behind the timing of Hamas’ recent attack on Israel. According to the researcher, the attack, which occurred on October 7, was not a mere coincidence. It was intentionally carried out on a major Jewish holiday, showcasing the symbolic significance behind the timing. The attack involved not only rocket strikes but also fighters crossing the border, leading to a substantial number of casualties. The researcher believes that this intentional timing of the attack was meant to send a powerful message to Israel. By choosing to launch the attack on a significant Jewish holiday, Hamas aimed to maximize the impact and create an atmosphere of fear and instability. The high death toll resulting from the attack only further emphasized the seriousness of their message. The researcher’s insights provide valuable context and understanding of the motivations behind the recent attack by Hamas on Israel.
