Egypt's intelligence chief warned Israel of Hamas attack before October 7, reports say

Egypt's former intelligence chief reportedly visited Israel days before the October 7 Hamas attack to warn Israeli officials of impending operations. The intelligence chief conveyed specific concerns about Hamas's preparations and the potential for a significant assault.

This revelation adds a layer of complexity to the events leading up to the current conflict. It suggests that warnings were issued, and raises questions about the extent to which these warnings were heeded by Israeli authorities.
