Brigadier General (Res.) Yossi Kuperwasser: Intelligence didn't anticipate
post withdrawal developments

"Before the withdrawal we expected weapons smuggling into the Gaza Strip,
but we didn't expect the volume. We really didn't expect the huge
quantities " Brigadier General (Res.) Yossi Kuperwasser in an interview to
be published in Hatzofe this Friday.

Kuperwasser, who was the research chief for military intelligence until four
months ago, also said in the interview that Intelligence emphasized before
the withdrawal from the Gaza Strip that the conflict would move from the
Gaza Strip to Judea and Samaria. Something that did not happen. "I can't
say yet if we were right or wrong. As of now it looks like less right."
