According to a new analysis, the New York and Tel Aviv stock markets saw a large increase in transactions a week before the Hamas attack.
On October 2, almost a quarter-million transactions were completed, in sharp contrast to the typical daily volume of a few thousand transactions.
“The research highlights an unusual spike in short-selling of Israeli securities just before the attack, suggesting foreknowledge,” state university law professors Robert Jackson Jr. and Joshua Mitts write.
The Israel Securities Authority is looking into these allegations.
