America's failure to detect the Hamas threat 'shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone,' a senior intelligence official says. Here's why
Israeli intelligence failed to warn of or avert last weekend's Hamas strike on Gaza, but U.S. intelligence—with more than 650,000 American citizens and significant military assets at risk on the ground in Israel—also failed to warn of prospective threats.'The United States and by extension the Biden administration isn't responsible for Israel's intelligence failure,' says a senior intelligence official who requested anonymity in order to speak candidly with Newsweek.
''In addition,' the officer says, 'there are more than a half-a-million U.S. citizens in Israel at any time and their security is paramount as well.' The State Department says that there are some 650,000 U.S. citizens residing in or visiting Israel, almost 20 percent of them in Gaza and the West Bank.
