Police didn’t get intelligence warnings from IDF: Channel 12 News

Police had concerns about music fest being held near Gaza border.

Fest wasn’t initially approved to continue through Oct 7 due to riots along the border.

Police chief of event asked IDF for plans on possible attack before party began.

But IDF told police chief Eyal Azoulai ‘no security concerns’.

“I see that the army isn’t approving October 7, and I turn to the senior officer in the Southern Command, and I ask him a very precise question: Is there some security consideration that I should be aware of? The answer I received was that the consideration wasn’t about security.”

‘Only battalion commanders knew about party, not lower-ranking officers’

“We wanted to understand if it is possible to have some kind of military force with an armoured vehicle there. The army informed us that its decision is to provide regional security, not the security of soldiers.”

Eyal Azulai, the commander in-charge of festival, To Channel 12.
