COLLUSION?

"What's unclear to me is: who made this document public in Israel? Was it a leak or did some Israeli authority decide to officially release it to the public, and if so when was it released (or leaked)?
"FWTW, a later Politico article says that US officials deny having ever seen the "Jericho Wall" document before, so implicitly they also seem to deny they leaked or released it.

"According to the NYT, a Hamas-sourced document codenamed "Jericho Wall" was somehow made public. It described in a fair bit of detail how the Hamas attack on Oct 7 eventually unfolded"

"Israeli officials obtained Hamas’s battle plan for the Oct. 7 terrorist attack more than a year before it happened, documents, emails and interviews show. But Israeli military and intelligence officials dismissed the plan as aspirational, considering it too difficult for Hamas to carry out.
"The approximately 40-page document, which the Israeli authorities code-named “Jericho Wall,” outlined, point by point, exactly the kind of devastating invasion that led to the deaths of about 1,200 people. The translated document, which was reviewed by The New York Times, did not set a date for the attack, but described a methodical assault designed to overwhelm the fortifications around the Gaza Strip, take over Israeli cities and storm key military bases, including a division headquarters. Hamas followed the blueprint with shocking precision. The document called for a barrage of rockets at the outset of the attack, drones to knock out the security cameras and automated machine guns along the border, and gunmen to pour into Israel en masse in paragliders, on motorcycles and on foot — all of which happened on Oct. 7. [...]
"The document circulated widely among Israeli military and intelligence leaders, but experts determined that an attack of that scale and ambition was beyond Hamas’s capabilities, according to documents and officials. It is unclear whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or other top political leaders saw the document, as well.
"[... Israeli] Officials would not say how they obtained the Jericho Wall document, but it was among several versions of attack plans collected over the years."
DOES THIS REMIND ONE OF:
OCTOBER 6?

- "Just to clarify. The source of this document - or rather presentation - is not Hamas, but the IDF (it was created by the IDF). calling this "a Hamas document" could be misleading. AFAIK the document was not made public and was not leaked, but rather its essence was made public by press. the press do not usually tell us their sources.– discipulusDec 1 at 19:50
- the full NYT article is not accessible to me, but if people can read this and understand that the source of the document is Hamas, then this example should just be added to the folder of low-level press.– discipulusDec 1 at 19:59
- 1@discipulus: my reading is that NYT implies it was obtained by Israeli intel from Hamas, pretty much as-is. I extended the quote with what NYT says about that. I grant you that it's not 100% clear if it wasn't somehow processed/compiled by Israelis from several sources.– FizzDec 1 at 20:32
- I never doubted you. I see this NYT is from 30 Nov. where simple search yield first (as I could see) Israeli reference in 28th. In another site - google translate. written "which was prepared in the Gaza Division".– discipulusDec 1 at 20:52
- 1According to those, the document was complied by the IDF in May 22 based on intelligence they had (probably multiple sources). both NYT and the Israeli sources clearly refer to the same 30-40 page documentSTAY TUNED
"US Dept State telegrams from June to October 1973 - links to actual telegrams. US convinces Israel not to make preemptive strikes, knowing Syrian and Egypt planning to attack. US says trust me it is ok.
Kissinger will tell the UN: I will stress that the report is for information and that we are not asking for any action by the UN at this time.
