Documents presented by the investigative program *What Lies Beneath* revealed that planning for the October 7 attack began with a meeting of the Qassam Brigades’ smaller military council on February 11, 2023. Those attending included Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif and Marwan Issa. The document cited violations at Al-Aqsa Mosque and the detention of prisoners as motives for the plan, estimated that the units were about 70% ready, and included a provision to cancel the operation if Israeli attacks stopped. On October 5, the Qassam Brigades’ general staff held a six-hour meeting to finalize the allocation of tasks. Deif then signed the operational order, setting zero hour for 6:30 a.m. on October 7. According to the investigation, the instructions included striking surveillance and communications towers to disrupt Israel’s response, as well as targeting tanks. A former Shin Bet officer said the attack exposed the failure of Israeli intelligence assessments.
