What did Israel know about the Hamas "Jericho Wall" plans a.k.a. October 7th, before it happened?
1) Israel had those plans ONE YEAR in advance:

How did Israel respond on the upcoming threat?
1) Two days before Oct 7, the Nova Festival was moved from Southern Israel -where it would have been safe- to a place near Kibbutz Re'im, for reasons still unknown

.
2) The night of Oct 7, a few hours beforehand, there was an intelligence meeting about the threat between Shin Bet, IDF-intelligence and Southern Command, because of 5 different warnings/signals. But no additional measures seems to be taken, and the Nova Festival was not informed:

3) Border security was REDUCED days before October 7:

4) Border guards were instructed on Oct 7 at 5:20AM NOT to patrol until 09:00AM. IDF soldier Shalom Shitrit was on duty that day. His revelations during Knesset hearing:

5) DESPITE planes and helicopters being minutes away, it took 1.5 hour before the air force responded and even up to 7 hours to get boots on the ground:

6) Knowingly killed OWN citizens, due to the Hannibal Directive:

7) Israel then lied extensively to blame Hamas. Oct 7 apparently wasn’t that bad?! Anyway, such as about:
A) Beheaded babies:

Zaka 'head' Yossi Landau didn't know which head belonged to which baby, among numerous other incredibly sick, insane lies:

C) (Mass) rapes as weapon of war:

The key question: how likely is it, that people during a time of probing and securing the October 7 victims, fantasize about smearing Hamas with fake victims? Even orchestrating a complete smear campaign around it? Any sane person would say there's no way. That scenario would absolutely be out of the question.
In that case, the only other option is that this smear campaign has been orchestrated BEFORE October 7. Additional rhetorical question: What does that mean for the prior knowledge and the (lack of) actions?!....
