So why didnt we give Israel this intelligence before then.
The obvious response to this considering how Hamas is defined federally. But I think this is a case of a White House staffer not fully understanding what is going on. I would expect this kind of story from a defense, security, intelligence reporter. The person that wrote this just covers the White House and this is not her wheel house.

Also, staying the obvious, Israel has its own spies and could already possess this information.
