Hamas got around Israel’s surveillance, because Israeli government led by Bibi got complacent and was busy doing geopolitics and selling surveillance tech to various regimes to spy on opposition and journalist.

Now there will be information leaking that it’s Iran and Russia helped, and new type of warfare, new tech, etc, which is true. But this is basically them saying “it’s not we who missed it, it’s that the enemy became more advanced” to deflect blame externally. When you rely on a breach sensor from a border fence, a camera feed and a remote machine gun, if it gets broken you need to repair it right way, and deploy a team immediately. DevOps reacts faster to a server outage than IDF reacted to a breach of security. IDF probably thought that if anything serious breqed in Gaza, Shabak would know. And Shabak probably thought, that in worst case scenario, they had sensors and remote machine gun at the border. This reasoning might upset many Israeli, but it’s a case of complacency and the political elite loosing perspective of what is important.

information that Russia helped? Iran I can understand, but why would Russia help Hamas to launch a massacre? Russia's busy fighting one war already. Israel isn't even supporting Ukraine afaik. and they have nukes, and they're not known for being pushovers. I can't think of a compelling reason for Russia to have helped, only massive downsides.

The rumor is that Russia sold Iran information on the Gaza wall protection technology in exchange for the Iranian made drones they are using in Ukraine.

This is a rumor I heard, I don't endorse it.
