Civilian volunteer: 'I could have heard Hamas on October 7'...

Refael Hayoun, a civilian intelligence volunteer, stated that he could have monitored Hamas communications in real time during the October 7 attacks if his equipment had not been confiscated months earlier. This revelation raises concerns about the preparedness of security measures prior to the incident.

Hayoun's assertion highlights the challenges faced by civilian volunteers who attempt to assist during conflicts, particularly in relation to accessing necessary technology for intelligence gathering.
