Netanyahu aide says Israel got no concrete warning of Hamas attack

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's national security adviser said on Saturday that Israel received no concrete warning, including from Egypt, of the Oct 7 onslaught by Hamas from Gaza.

The chief of Israel's Shin Bet domestic security service was summoned for an unusual 4 a.m. briefing that day - 2.5 hours before the attack began - on new intelligence information but this did not warrant mobilisation, Tzachi Hanegbi told reporters.
