The events between Israel and Hamas are described by many as the most violent conflict in the region after the Yom Kippur War in 1973.
This is how the Hamas-Israel conflict was reflected in the world press…
INDEPENDENT DESCRIBED THE EVENTS AS INTELLIGENCE WEAKNESS
The British-based Independent newspaper described the events as Israel’s intelligence failure.
The newspaper asked: “How did Israeli intelligence fail to see Hamas’ shocking terrorist attack?” In the news headlined, he wrote that it is extremely worrying that Hamas has infiltrated the heart of cities from southern Israel with its armed militants and killed many civilians.
On the other hand, he stated that the newspaper, which wrote that Hamas is holding dozens of Israeli hostages in Gaza, is currently important in deterring Israel from a full attack.
CNN: ISRAEL WAS CAUGHT UNPREPARED
According to the news on CNN, one of America’s largest broadcasting organizations, Israel was extremely unprepared for the Hamas attack.
In the news, based on the views of retired colonel Cedric Leighton, who spoke to CNN correspondent Oren Liebermann, he wrote that Hamas used primitive communication methods to undermine Israel’s intelligence service before attacking and was successful in this.
CNBC: ISRAEL WAS CAUGHT BY surprise
US-based publication CNBC asked, “How did Israel and the USA overlook Hamas’ plans?” In his headline headline, he wrote that Israel was taken by surprise and suffered a major intelligence failure after Hamas’ surprise attack on Israel.
In addition, CNBC, in its news, also referred to the Yom Kippur War, which took place in 1973 between Israel and Arab states led by Egypt and Syria, and emphasized that Hamas’s attacks took place on the 50th anniversary of this war.
TIMES OF ISRAEL: A WOUNDED, WEAKED ISRAEL IS MORE VIOLENT
In the news published in the Times of Israel under the title “A wounded, weakened Israel is more violent”, it was underlined that the Israelis were extremely humiliated.
The news also said, “Until Saturday, Israelis believed they were strong and safe. On Saturday, they began to believe that they were neither.
“With this simple change, Hamas’ attack was largely successful.”
HAARETZ: NETANYAHU WILL PAY THE PRICE…
Evaluating the latest events in the Israel-based media outlet Haaretz, Amos Harel published an analysis report with the title “Israel-Gaza War: A catastrophic failure that will send political shock waves.”
The report argued that Israel’s only problem is not intelligence failure and unpreparedness in the Gaza attacks. It was also emphasized that Israel’s operational defense approach was shattered, and that “Netanyahu will have to pay the political price of Hamas policy after the war.”
