Egypt Warned Israel Before Hamas Attack – But Was the Alert Ignored?
Israel was warned by Egypt about a possible violent attack three days before Hamas launched its deadly strike, reveals Michael McCaul, chairman of the US House Foreign Affairs Committee. McCaul spilled this bombshell after a top-secret intel briefing on the Middle East crisis.
“We know that Egypt warned the Israelis three days before that something like this could happen,” McCaul told reporters. Yet, he added, it’s still unclear how serious or detailed that warning was. He questioned how both the US and Israel missed the sign.
Egypt’s official stance remains silent on the matter, with senior security insiders denying Cairo issued any alert, according to Egyptian media sources.
The US National Security Council’s spokesman, John Kirby, dodged direct comment on McCaul’s claims but confirmed close cooperation and ongoing intelligence sharing with Israel.
