Infiltration of the IDF Southern Command
On the morning of October 7th, during the Hamas attack on Israel, Assaf Shmuelevitz, a young lawyer, infiltrated the IDF Southern Command and gained access to highly sensitive military meetings.
Among these was a critical briefing where Defense Minister Yoav Galant was present. Shmuelevitz was exposed to real-time intelligence on military operations, war strategies, and vital information about hostages and the location of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.
The infiltration occurred at a moment when decisions made in these meetings could alter the course of the conflict, highlighting the urgent need to act on collected intelligence in the first few hours of an attack.
