In depth

According to N12, the censor allowed publication of two additional indications that preceded the October 7 massacre: Mohammed Deif was identified descending into a tunnel, and changes were observed in Hamas's anti-tank missile array.

According to Arutz Sheva, the signs approved for publication also include the descent of Deif and other senior figures in the organization into tunnels, as well as indications of preparations for rocket fire and the activation of 45 Israeli SIM cards in the Gaza Strip.

According to Channel 13 News, the signs held by the IDF and the Shin Bet hours before the attack were interpreted as routine activity rather than preparations for a full-scale invasion, and the findings came from several different collection means.
