TURNER: "Well, I think there certainly is a gap that was unexpected with respect to Israel's intelligence gathering. You know, when we saw the failures of October 7, where they failed to see the emerging horrendous Hamas attack and the taking of hostages that resulted in what you're reporting, we wondered whether or not it was a lack of focus. But now that the United States is actually working with Israel and trying to assist in locating Hamas and understanding Hamas' structure, we're actually understanding that Israel has a gap in also capabilities. Now, of the operational aspects, as you related, because we saw a lack of response after the Hamas attack began to unfold, there also were concerns as to whether or not Israel was going to get to go into Gaza and to be able to locate and to dismantle Hamas. But I think everyone's seeing it, they're progressing at a much faster rate than anyone had expected. But, still, as we see now, the reports that are coming out of Gaza, as Israel reports, what they're accomplishing, there certainly is concern and doubt."
