The head of the Israeli General Security Agency (Shin Bet), Ronen Bar, said that he bears responsibility for the surprise attack launched by the Hamas movement on October 7, pointing out that the agency failed to “give sufficient warning.”

A letter sent by Bar last night to Shin Bet members and their families, written on the eighth day of the “Al-Aqsa Flood,” stated that “despite the series of measures we took, unfortunately, on Saturday, we were unable to issue sufficient warning to thwart the attack.” ".

Barr added: “We are not on a tour, but in a war... and the war ends with decisiveness and a change in the situation.”

He continued: "As the person who heads (the agency), the responsibility falls on me," noting that "there will be time to conduct investigations, and now we are fighting."

"There is no limit, there is no time limit. Until the end," Barr said.
