American intelligence leaks have a long history of sabotaging Israeli operations.


by DIN

 As time passes, whispers grow louder: Israel’s “Summit of Fire” operation to eliminate Hamas leadership in Doha may have been compromised—not by poor planning, but by a familiar culprit.

 Reports suggest that American officials rushed to inform Qatari authorities of the impending Israeli airstrike, who in turn warned Hamas leaders. The result? The targets vanished before the first jet could even cast a shadow.

If true, this isn’t just a diplomatic faux pas—it’s a betrayal. But let’s not pretend it’s unprecedented.

Flashback to March 1968: Operation Karameh (also known as Operation Inferno), Israel’s first major military response to Palestinian terror after the Six-Day War. The IDF planned a decisive strike on Fatah’s headquarters in the Jordanian town of Karameh. But just days before the operation, American intelligence reportedly tipped off Jordan. Jordanian officials, in turn, warned Fatah leaders—including Yasser Arafat and his deputy Abu Iyad—who promptly fled and prepared for the assault.

The result? The IDF lost the element of surprise. Thirty-three Israeli soldiers were killed, 161 wounded, and several tanks and vehicles were left behind. Arafat escaped on a motorcycle and declared “victory,” boosting the PLO’s prestige and fueling years of bloody violence.

According to journalist Moshe Zak’s Hussein Makes Peace, and Abu Iyad’s own memoir Without a Homeland, the CIA’s leak to Jordan directly enabled Fatah’s survival and the IDF’s losses. The parallels to today’s alleged leak in Doha are chilling.

Whether in 1968 or 2025, the pattern remains: American intelligence leaks, Israeli lives lost, and terrorist leaders walking free. If allies are supposed to have your back, someone forgot to tell Washington.

 History may not repeat itself exactly—but when it rhymes this loudly, it’s hard to ignore the betrayal.

I hope I'm wrong

American intelligence knew about the Arabs' plans for the Yom Kippur war. How much did they know about the Arabs' plans for October 7?
