Israel's Military Intelligence Directorate has a unit known as the "Devil's Advocate Unit" that is charged with "relentlessly challenging all military policies and conceptions."
In the three weeks leading up to October 7, the head of this unit challenged the misconception that Hamas had been sufficiently deterred, and told military and political leaders four different times that the terror group was preparing to attack.
This assessment was presented in two separate letters to IDF and government leaders, and in two briefings with military intelligence chiefs on back-to-back days in late September.
