After a months-long investigation, the Shin Bet has concluded that Palestinians who entered Israel from Gaza for work prior to the October 7 Hamas terror assault did not provide Hamas with intelligence information that would assist with the assault, Channel 12 reports.
According to the report, the Shin Bet has investigated some 3,000 Gazans who had permits to work in Israel to assess if they had provided the terror group with information about the communities they were planning on attacking and concluded that no such concerted effort had been made.
“There’s no concern that the people who were investigated passed information to Hamas as a result of their work in Israel,” Channel 12 states.
The report adds that 16,000 Gazans had permits to work in Israel, meaning that the Shin Bet investigation examined roughly 18% of the workforce.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
