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 mobilization, Tzachi Hanegbi told reporters.
