The investigation into the events of October 7 showed that Israel's intelligence failures were due to deep and systemic issues within its intelligence community. Key problems included:
1. A significant gap between intelligence concepts and execution.
2. Inability to warn of the surprise attack.
3. Misunderstanding of fundamental issues regarding Hamas.
To prevent such failures in the future, Israel is adopting a new security strategy called "multi-layered security," focusing on Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria.
This new doctrine is based on the following principles:
- Establishing strong defense positions within Israel, particularly in areas adjacent to Lebanon, Gaza, and inside the occupied Syrian Golan.
- Creating a buffer zone in neighboring countries, specifically Lebanon, Syria, and the Gaza Strip.
- Enforcing demilitarization of Lebanon, Gaza, and Syria.
In Lebanon:
- Israel is strengthening its military presence along the border inside Israel.
- It has gained control over some border villages and strategic hills in the neighboring territories in Lebanon.
- It is pressuring the Lebanese government to disarm Hezbollah not just at the southern part of the Litani River, but throughout the country.
In Syria:
-Military bases have been reportedly reinforced in the occupied Golan Heights.
- Israel plans to keep control of about 400 km of occupied territory, as a crucial security buffer.
- It has conducted strikes against Syrian military sites, contributing to a demilitarized status for Syria.
In Palestine:
- Israel seeks to establish the Gaza Strip and Palestinian territories as demilitarized zones.
It intends to maintain control over key areas, such as the Philadelphia crossing, and create a security buffer zone inside Gaza.
- Security measures are being strengthened along the West Bank and Gaza borders.
