A new report in Channel 12 News claims that on the night of October 6, an error occurred in a technological system used by the elite SIGINT force Unit 8200 of the IDF. The unit was supposed to provide significantly better information than was intercepted before the October 7th massacre, but was prevented by the malfunction.

According to the report, upon identifying the error, soldiers specializing in handling it were urgently called in from their homes. A senior military intelligence official claims they were called immediately, but others claimed they arrived only after 3:00.

The system went back online at 5:00, an hour and a half before the attack began. By the time it resumed extracting real-time information and reconstructing previous data, the attack had already started.

The commander of Unit 8200 said the information about the fault was conveyed to the Head of Military Intelligence, the Chief of Staff, and the director of the ISA. However a senior intelligence official claimed he did not receive a report that the system had ever gone offline.

The IDF Spokesperson commented on the new report, saying: “The IDF is in the midst of investigating the events of October 7 and the preceding circumstances. The claims presented in the report are being checked as part of the investigations. Upon completion, the findings will be presented to the public transparently.”
