‘If you need an example of how electronic intelligence could be misleading then read about the current spat between Canada and India. The 5 Eyes Intelligence Alliance network is mostly electronic. It misread a low level electronic conversation and passed on the info to Trudeau of Canada. Trudeau getting low in local polls jumped on the opportunity to start a fight and build a vote bank of Khalistanis.Human intelligence is the key to knowing your enemies intentions. Israel probably downgraded that aspect in last 5-10 years, which gave rifle carrying Hamas an advantage. They came to shoot civilians not fight And they succeeded. Electronic intelligence should supplement human intelligence but not primary.

Hamas attack shows human intelligence is crucial for national security. Tech doesn't catch intent
One can rely almost exclusively on technology to collect and analyse data, but gauging intent will remain in the jurisdiction of the person or organisation.theprint.in
‘’That electronic intelligence mislead both 5 Eyes as well as Trudeau. Now he has nowhere to turn. With no evidence, and still his opposition in Canada rejecting his fight with India has lost it all. Now Trudeau has nowhere to turn. His loss in elections in 2025 is guaranteed.
Moral of the story is that do not rely too much on electronic intelligence.
