"They knew everything," Yarden Reskin, a Mefalsim security volunteer, said after Oct 7. Hamas's Modatz unit had mapped his kibbutz down to family schedules. In my new book, I trace how they built that system over two years. amilburn.substack.com/p/pattern-of...

Two minutes and eight seconds. That's how long it took Hamas to reach an Israeli kibbutz. An excerpt from my forthcoming book, reconstructing the final Hamas briefing — from captured attack plans and interviews with Shin Bet officers who investigated it. amilburn.substack.com/p/two-minute...

For two years, Hamas rehearsed the attack in the open — a replica Israeli base, filmed drills posted to Telegram. Israeli intelligence saw it all, and concluded Hamas was blowing off steam. Exactly what Sinwar intended. This week's chapter from my forthcoming book: substack.com/@andrewmilbu...

Great 1st chapter of Andy’s upcoming book about the Gaza War. No one has the sources Andy does. Keep your eyes open for when the book drops.
