- Hamas activeerde 1000 SIM kaarten drie uur voor de aanval op7 oktober
In de nacht van 6 op 7 oktober om 3 uur plaatsten HAMAS strijders een Israëlische SIM-kaart in hun telefoon. Om beter te kunnen communiceren als ze de grens over waren. Wat ze niet wisten was dat deze kaarten stiekem door de Israëlische geheime dienst Shin Beth waren verspreid in de rangen van Hamas. Het activeren van de SIM-kaarten was een duidelijk signaal dat er iets stond te gebeuren. Zeker omdat het er zoveel waren. Dat blijkt uit recente onderzoeken naar de gebeurtenissen op 7 oktober 2023. De activering gebeurde zo’n drie uur voor het begin van de operatie. Die tijd werd door Shin Beth niet effectief besteed om tegenmaatregelen te nemen. Zie 9.
