    Journal Article

    Most of the literature related to Israeli intelligence on the eve of the 1973 Yom Kippur War refers to its failure, mainly because it did not provide an early warning. The flawed intelligence assessment rendered in Oct 1973 has been studied intensively and remains the subject of much public and professional debate. The discussion here considers the psychological forces affecting intelligence operations in predicting the initiation of hostile enemy activities, and describes possible avenues of dealing with psychological impediments to open-mindedness that may pervasively characterize such circumstances.
