Officials in the Prime Minister's Office claimed that Prime Minister Netanyahu did not receive a report about the SIM alert , neither before October 7 nor in the days after the attack. However, Netanyahu's people later changed their version and claimed that he knew about dozens of exchanges. According to his people, what he learned last night is the claim, which according to the army is not true, about a thousand tickets that were exchanged.
In response, the journalist Ben Caspit attacked and claimed that "the Prime Minister's Office is lying. With a determined forehead. And this is not new, as we know. Netanyahu knew about the dozens of Israeli SIMs that were opened in Gaza at night. Not in real time. Here, the failure belongs to the security system that did not recognize the immediate danger and was a captive In the concept (which we have been discussing since October 7th). But Netanyahu did not "reveal it in the media". He was present at dozens of discussions since October 7th in which the issue came up and also expressed himself about it. There are dozens of witnesses. I personally have conversations with people very close to Netanyahu about the issue This one ever since."
"They've run out of shame. They don't understand that if Netanyahu didn't know what every beginning military or political commentator knows from October 8, does that mean he's cut off, alien or demented?" he added at the end of his words.
As mentioned, a few hours before the attack on October 7, during which more than 1,200 civilians and soldiers were killed in Otef, Israel recognized that hundreds of terrorists in Noh'ba had switched to an Israeli SIM card in their phones, it was learned today.
