Egypt reportedly warned Israel three days in advance of a potential large-scale attack by Hamas, according to the chairman of the US House Foreign Affairs Committee, Michael McCaul. He revealed the warning after a closed-door intelligence briefing, suggesting the attack might have been planned up to a year ago. Egypt had warned Israel about the volatile situation in Gaza, hinting at an imminent explosion. Hamas' coordinated assault, resulting in over 1,200 Israeli casualties, marked a significant intelligence failure for Israel.
