The Israeli occupation's Channel 12 confirmed that the Shin Bet, the Israeli occupation's security agency, is investigating why it did not receive any information from its collaborators in the Gaza Strip regarding Hamas's intention to carry out Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7th.
The channel reported that the Shin Bet's investigation revealed that some of the agency's collaborators in Gaza were deceiving "Israel" and were not cooperating with it.
It added that "Israel" acknowledged the difficulty of infiltrating Hamas through human agents, noting that Hamas operatives execute immediate executions of anyone suspected of collaborating with "Israel".
Regarding the events of October 7th, several reports and investigations revealed that the Resistance had a thorough knowledge of Israeli positions in the Gaza envelope, while the Israeli occupation forces displayed confusion, poor performance, and disorganization, lacking any combat plan.
Investigations confirmed a severe intelligence failure and a significant defeat for "Israel" in confronting the attack from the Resistance in Gaza, leading senior officials in the military and security agencies to resign.
Settlers don't feel safe after Oct 7, they're leaving: Israeli media
A report by the Jerusalem Post, earlier in December, touched on the thousands of settlers leaving the occupied land since October 7, 2023, after the Hamas Resistance group carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, highlighting the lack of security felt by Israeli settlers.
According to government statistics and immigration tallies released by destination countries such as Canada and Germany, as cited by the Jerusalem Post, thousands of Israelis have left the occupied land since Oct. 7, 2023.
Statistics show concerns about a potential "brain drain" in sectors like medicine and technology, with migration experts suggesting that the number of people leaving "Israel" could exceed the number of immigrants to the occupied territories in 2024. This observation comes from Sergio DellaPergola, a statistician and professor emeritus at the Hebrew University in occupied al-Quds.
According to the Jerusalem Post, thousands of Israelis have chosen to bear the financial, emotional, and social costs of relocating since October 7 last year. Government statistics and families who spoke to The Associated Press in recent months reveal that many have emigrated to countries like Canada, Spain, and Australia.
The report adds that the Israeli settler population has speedily grown toward 10 million people, but by the end of 2024, the number of settlers leaving surpassed the ones coming in, further explaining that the numbers remain low even amid a potential ceasefire in Gaza and after the ceasefire with Lebanon.
