Prior to the October 7 attacks, Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar reportedly advised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to authorize targeted operations against Hamas's top command. Bar cautioned the Israeli leader about a potential major upheaval involving the militant organization. Despite these warnings and the recommendation to neutralize senior figures like Yahya Sinwar, the Prime Minister did not grant approval for the suggested strikes. This information highlights internal security discussions that occurred before the escalation of the current conflict.
