“The CIA provided two warnings to the Biden Administration regarding an increased risk of violence from Hamas in the days leading up to the militant group’s attack on Israel, according to multiple outlets, though the reports didn’t anticipate the severity of the lethal assault.”
Write your Senator and Congressman and demand an investigation be launched about the CIA warning Israel about possible attack around the day – HAMAS ATTACKED!
Below are my posts before and after the attack! Here is my post of October 13, 2023. President Biden had to have known about this warning. Write our President and bid him to call a ceasefire until there is a investigation. Bid him to not give Israel any money for more war. Hamas does not have hundreds of tanks, aircraft, or a navy to launch a military invasion of Israel, thus there is no urgency to bomb civilian targets and kill civilians.
Last night I heard a IDF General say Israel did get a report a year before the attack, but did not have a CLUE when it might happen. Did he lie? This General showed off his ‘Kill Zone’ AP that Palestinians can use to avoid being blown to bits. The problem with this Faux Mercy Plan – the IDF knocked out cellphone reception! I’ve seen and heard enough. War Crimes are being committed!

Israel Was Warned!
Posted on October 13, 2023 by Royal Rosamond Press
The EU is warning about Israel engaging in misinformation. It was reported that plans to invade a school and take children hostages was found on a dead Hamas invader. Why? How many dead invaders are there? Why wasn’t the Sukkot Festival canceled? Who planned it, and set the location? Netanyahu was desperate to unite Israel. The Liberal-left marched in the street. What if Hamas attacked one of those protests? Did Hamas know the music festival was taking place – and attacked anyway? Didn’t they know this would turn Bohemian-Hippie types all over the world – against them? They look like Oakland and Berkeley cops.
On Friday the 13th. the purged of the Knights Templar began. Three thousand Marines, have landed.

The CIA provided two warnings to the Biden Administration regarding an increased risk of violence from Hamas in the days leading up to the militant group’s attack on Israel, according to multiple outlets, though the reports didn’t anticipate the severity of the lethal assault.
KEY FACTS
A September 28 intelligence report warned of the possibility that Hamas would launch rocket strikes into Israel over the course of multiple days, the New York Times reported, citing U.S. officials.
A second report from the CIA dated October 5—two days before Hamas carried out its attack—warned of an increased probability of violence from Hamas.
President Joe Biden and senior White House officials were not briefed on either report, the Times reported, noting the CIA did not designate the reports as having particular significance to policymakers.
Egypt warned Israel about an incoming attack from Hamas three days before the brutal weekend assault, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) said on Wednesday.
“We know that Egypt has warned the Israelis three days prior that an event like this could happen,” McCaul told reporters after a closed-door intelligence briefing focused on the war, per the Guardian. “I don’t want to get too much into classified [details], but a warning was given. I think the question was at what level.”

The Texas Republican reportedly added that the attack may have been planned as far back as a year ago. “We’re not quite sure how we missed it. We’re not quite sure how Israel missed it.”
McCaul’s statements appear to contradict Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s repeated claims that he was not told of Hamas’s plans before the attack, prompting further questions over who knew what and when.
An Egyptian intelligence official said his country had warned Israel that “something big” could happen, but both U.S. and Israeli officials have denied that any such warning occurred.
The European Commission sent a warning letter Friday to Google and its subsidiary YouTube over disinformation and graphic content linked to the Hamas-Israel conflict, in the European Union’s latest effort to scrutinize Big Tech’s handling of the war.
The letter from European Commissioner Thierry Breton, addressed to Google CEO Sundar Pichai and also sent to YouTube CEO Neal Mohan, reminded the company about its content moderation obligations under the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA). Breton shared the letter on X.
Breton highlighted legal requirements for Google to keep graphic content such as hostage videos away from underage users; to act swiftly when authorities flag content that violates European laws; and to mitigate disinformation.
“This brings me to a second area of pressing concern: tackling disinformation in the context of elections, a priority which we personally discussed when we met in Brussels in May,” Breton wrote, referencing upcoming elections in a number of EU countries.
It also warned of possible penalties if a future investigation were to find Google (GOOGL) is not complying with the DSA.
Breton’s warning comes after similar letters he sent this week to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, as well as Meta and TikTok.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Re%27im_music_festival_massacre On 7 October 2023, Hamas militants crossed into Israel from the Gaza Strip and carried out a massacre of civilians at the “Supernova Sukkot Gathering” music festival. The event was an open-air psychedelic trance festival, arranged to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, and was situated near the Re’im kibbutz.[3][4][5] This attack was part of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, which started the 2023 Israel–Hamas war. At least 260 festivalgoers were killed, and a greater number of people were injured.
The organizers switched to the site only two days before, after the original location in southern Israel did not work out.[15]
Palestinian Salafists pose dangerous new problem for Hamas
Attempts by militants in Gaza, some aligned with Islamic State, to provoke a military response from Israel have escalated tensions

There are two conflicting accounts of how Younis Hunnar, a young militant Salafist leader in Gaza, died.
An artist manager who had several acts scheduled to play the Paralello Universo festival in Re’im, Israel, near the Gaza Strip, and who was there during the attack on the festival, describes a scene of chaos and terror.

Raz Gaster had multiple artists playing the electronic music festival, where at least 260 people were killed and others were abducted amid an attack by Hamas operatives Saturday (Oct. 7).

Gaster arrived on site at the festival event at approximately 5:30 a.m. on Saturday, with the party — which had started the night prior — meant to go until approximately 5 p.m. Saturday evening. An offshoot of the Paralello Universo festival brand started in Brazil nearly 20 years ago; the Israel event was called Supernova Sukkot Gathering after the Jewish holiday and was hosting several thousand attendees in a rural location near the Gaza Strip, with a lineup focused on the electronic psytrance genre.
Everything changed, though, when rockets and missiles launched from the Gaza Strip by Hamas started landing on the site an hour later, part of a widespread attack on Israel.
“Around 6:30 in the morning we started hearing explosions,” Gaster says. “We went out of the backstage and we saw a full bombardment everywhere. It was hundreds of rockets and mortars flying from everywhere and explosions all around us.”
Gaster says that at this point, festival security advised everyone to get down on the floor and put their hands above their heads for protection. But after 5-10 minutes, Gaster says, “the policemen shouted in the microphones, ‘Okay, get in your cars and go.’”
“The moment the policemen said ‘go now,’ I ran,” Gaster recalls. “I didn’t wait, because we know it’s a rocket attack. You need to act quick.”

At Least 260 People Dead After Attack At Israeli Electronic Music Festival
Because his car was parked near the stage very close to where he was standing, Gaster and three other men — including Universo Paralello co-founder Juarez Petrillo — were able to immediately get in Gaster’s car and drive out minutes later, after Gaster made sure the artists he works with were also in vehicles fleeing the site.
Gaster says he was “driving super fast, not stopping for anything, even when missiles are coming down. My instinct told me don’t stop for shelter, just drive… We drove so fast we didn’t even know what was happening.”
By the time Gaster and the others made it to a villa rented by the production team, located approximately 30 kilometers away from the festival, they had started getting texts and phone calls telling them that minutes after they drove away from the site, Hamas fighters had arrived “with machine guns, with RPGs, with grenades, and just slaughtered whoever they could.”
He says that these attackers arrived by motorcycles, quads and trucks approximately 20 minutes after missiles started landing.
Gaster and those he was with turned the villa into a command center, contacting IDF, other Israeli security services and “all of our friends that we know personally that have firearms that have connections that can go there.”

During this time he and the others were receiving messages from friends and colleagues still on site, who reported that the attackers were shooting attendees in their cars as they attempted to drive away. A friend of Gaster’s messaged to say that the driver of her car had been shot and that she and another friend were pretending to be dead to avoid being killed. He says these women ultimately played dead for five hours before being rescued. As of Sunday (Oct. 8), Israeli rescue service Zaka has reported at least 260 bodies at the site.
“People were hiding in ditches, hiding in bushes, hiding in the woods, hiding wherever you can think of,” says Gaster. “We were getting horrible messages from friends saying, ‘Please help us, they are shooting people next to us.’”
Gaster says it took IDF and special forces a few hours to arrive on site, with those who were there attempting to defend themselves in the meantime.
“At the party there was already a police force, like any licensed party,” Gaster says, “and they were the first ones to try to give assistance by fighting… We are Israelites, so most of us have military experience, and a few from the production managed to kill some terrorists with their bare hands and their weapons.”
Gaster says a person from the festival killed two of the attackers after taking their guns. Gaster says he and the team at the production villa were being sent on-site locations from various attendees and then sending these locations to this person, who then went to help these attendees.
“It was 24 hours of working to find as many people as we could and get as many signs of life as we could,” says Gaster.
Universo Paralello was not origintally intended to take place at the Re’im site, with organizers moving it to this location only two days before it started, when another site in southern Israel fell through. The new site at Re’im featured a pair of stages, with the Israeli producer Artifex playing the mainstage when the attack started. Gaster was told that the attackers closed the road into the festival from both sides so attendees could not escape.

Other festival attendees have been abducted by Hamas. As a group of between 15-20 people gathered at the production villa, they, says Gaster, “started seeing videos on social media of hostages and people we know that are kidnapped and bodies we could recognize [as] our friends. Many friends are still missing, and we still don’t know where they are.”
He approximates that there are still 600-700 people missing from the party. All but one artist on the festival lineup has left Israel, with Gaster and others putting artists on any available flight into Europe as airlines canceled flights amid the attacks.
While Gaster had just arrived to his home in the north of Israel when Billboard spoke with him at around 1 a.m. local Israeli time (he says the IDF controls most of the area between where he was and where he lives, so he felt safe to drive home), he says that amid the chaos they are all “still trying to find any signs of life.”
