Israel Palestine conflict LIVE Updates: Questions emerge over Israel’s intelligence prowess after Hamas assault

Israel’s safety techniques “collapsed totally” on Saturday, a former head of one in all their intelligence companies, was quoted by BBC as saying. Israel’s intelligence companies have gained an aura of invincibility over the many years due to a string of achievements. Israel has foiled plots seeded within the West Bank, allegedly hunted down Hamas operatives in Dubai and has been accused of killing Iranian nuclear scientists within the coronary heart of Iran. Even when their efforts have stumbled, companies just like the Mossad, Shin Bet and army intelligence have maintained their mystique. (Inputs from AP)
