TL;DR

A single source reports that IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi made a critical decision on the night of October 7, 2023, not to destroy sensitive intelligence sources. According to the report, this decision, coupled with the collapse of a secret mechanism, led to the intelligence system being effectively "put to sleep." The claim is unverified and rests on a single source.
