Israel spies 'KNEW of Hamas threat to Nova festival hours before attack but did not pass on warning to organisers'

Israeli spies knew of Hamas' plans to attack partygoers at the Nova music festival just hours before the terrorists carried out the bloody assault, it has been reported. 

Secret agents and military commanders held late-night meetings hours before the October 7 attack began, an investigation by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz said. 

The first meeting took place over the phone close to midnight with senior figures of the IDF, such as its chief of staff Herzl Halevi, being made aware of the warnings.

A second briefing was then held at 3am with the IDF concluding that Hamas was conducting a training exercise on the Gaza border rather than preparing for the deadly attack.
