Haaretz reports about massive short-selling of Israeli shares in the days before October 7, indicating that “somebody seemingly knew [of the attack] in advance and made billions betting against Israeli shares traded locally and on Wall Street”

Here’s the Haaretz headline:

Did Hamas Make Millions Betting Against Israeli Shares Before October 7 Massacre?

Giant gambles against Israel on the markets in Tel Aviv and Wall Street days before Hamas’ attack made billions. Somebody seems to have known about the plan in advance

Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7 caught the Israeli army unprepared. But somebody seemingly knew in advance and made billions betting against Israeli shares traded locally and on Wall Street five days before the attack.

So, as they say, the IOF may have been caught unprepared, but somebody was prepared. Who? Hamas?
