Israel army admits 'overconfidence' ahead of October 7 attack: Military official

The Israeli military acknowledged it was "overconfident" and had misconceptions about Hamas' military capabilities ahead of the October 7, 2023 attack, a senior military official said Thursday as the army released a report on the events.

The official said the army had not maintained "a comprehensive understanding of the enemy's military capabilities" and was "overconfident" in its knowledge.
