IDF’s intel official ‘warned’ Netanyahu of security risks posed by judicial overhaul
A top intel official reportedly warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the threat posed by his judicial overhaul plans that encouraged Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas to take military action against Israel.
Israeli newspaper Haaretz quoted Brigadier General Amit Saar, the head of the Israel Defense Forces Military (IDF) Intelligence Research Department, saying that he had first appealed to Netanyahu on March 19, a week before Knesset was due to approve the judicial overhaul bill.

Israel reveals signs of Hamas activity at Shifa, but a promised command center remains elusive
Three weeks ago, the Israeli military released a comprehensive 3D model of Shifa Hospital in Gaza, revealing a series of subterranean structures that it said were part of an intricate Hamas command and control centre beneath the territory’s major health-care facility.
The military has yet to reveal this alleged centre, despite taking possession of the hospital just days ago. However, it has posted recordings showing reportedly confiscated weaponry within the hospital, a tunnel extending across the building, and films that appear to show Hamas militants hauling hostages through the hospital’s halls. According to Israel, there will be much more to come.
What Israel finds – or fails to find – could play a large part in its efforts to rally international support for its war against Hamas, launched on Oct. 7 in response to a bloody cross-border attack by the Islamic militant group.
