How did the underestimation of Hamas's capabilities and attack routes impact the outcome of the October 7, 2023, attack?

The report highlights systemic issues within the Israeli military intelligence, including a failure to question initial assessments and a flawed understanding of the Gaza border's security. The significant discrepancy between the estimated 8 and the actual 60 attack routes used by Hamas, along with the vastly superior number of Hamas fighters (approximately 5000) compared to Israeli soldiers (767) stationed at the border, indicates a profound intelligence failure. This failure resulted in the deaths of approximately 1200 Israelis and the abduction of roughly 250.
