The Zioneer published documents Sunday morning detailing Hamas-Hezbollah coordination before the October 7 attack. In an Army Radio segment, journalists Moriah Asraf and Doron Kadosh presented the findings and posed pointed questions regarding Hezbollah's ability to obtain Israeli intelligence and why Mossad apparently missed cross-border communications between Hamas officials abroad and in Gaza.
The Zioneer's Sunday morning publication of internal documents detailing pre-October 7 coordination between Hamas and Hezbollah has stirred new scrutiny of the intelligence failure. The documents, first flagged by Army Radio's Doron Kadosh at 07:39 (as The Zioneer reported), describe Hezbollah's assistance during Operation Guardian of the Walls (2021), Hamas officials' attempts to persuade Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and Yahya Sinwar's optimistic assessment that Iran and Hezbollah were prepared for an alliance against Israel.
Journalists Moriah Asraf and Doron Kadosh presented the core findings on their Army Radio program, raising two central questions that they say the Mossad — which has not published any internal investigation into October 7 — must answer: how Hezbollah achieved such intelligence penetration into Israel and passed it to Hamas, and why Israel's intelligence agencies apparently missed the written correspondence between Hamas officials abroad and those inside Gaza.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday at 07:44, the documents represent the first direct evidence of the depth of coordination between the two terror organizations in the lead-up to the attack. A separate Zioneer bulletin at 08:36 detailed Army Radio's claim that Hezbollah foiled an IDF deception operation in 2021 by providing Hamas with intelligence. The question of Mossad's pre-October 7 operations in Gaza, which The Zioneer reported Sunday at 09:01, remains unresolved as senior officials have not commented on the latest revelations.
