Deciphering the brutal murder of the late Tamar and Yehuda Kadouri is not a decipherment that the GSS and the police can boast about.
This is a pretty rare case where all the red lights were on, but no security guard noticed them.
In January 2019, terrorist Wasim Assayed was arrested for incitement and support for ISIS.
It was a total of two days after he brutally murdered the Kadouri couple.
He was prosecuted for incitement and membership in a hostile organization, and at the end of his imprisonment he was transferred to an administrative detention of about two and a half years, from which he was released last month.
Between 2015 and 2018, he was banned due to activity in ISIS infrastructure, which planned to carry out quality attacks against Israeli targets.
That is, all the GSS had to do was simply search the apartment where he lived and gather evidence from there. Today it is already known that such a move could have helped decipher the murder.
How can one explain to family members the fact that for three years the terrorist has been under the noses of the security forces.
I mean, in the Israeli prison?
Something bad is happening in the intelligence cooperation between the organizations.
This is not the first time a terrorist has slipped away due to the lack of security.
The perpetrator of the attack in Be'er Sheva last month, Muhammad Alqian, was also in Israeli prison.
In June 2015 he admitted to supporting ISIS, was arrested a year later, convicted and ran four years in prison.
When he was released no one supervised his movements, and the bitter end is already known.
Someone has to check the line of failures that caused important and sensitive intelligence information about ISIS operatives not to be passed between the organizations.
Police have unsolved murder cases that are gathering dust from investigators' desks.
But there are cases, like the above case, where the decoders need to do a home inspection - and fast.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
