Description

Andreas Krieg, a senior lecturer in security studies at Kings College London, told the BBC: "While there was centralised planning, execution was de-centralised, with each squad operationalising the plan as they saw fit."

He said he had spoken to people inside Hamas who were surprised by the weakness of Israel's defences, and assessed militants likely bypassed Israel's surveillance technology by communicating offline.
