A report suggests that investors with prior knowledge of the October 7 Hamas attack may have profited by short-selling Israeli stocks. The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, Israel's Securities Authority, and regulators refute the claims, calling the report inaccurate and flawed. Researchers from NYU and Columbia describe significant and unusual short interest in Israeli companies before the attack. However, conflicting views emerge, with some disputing the data and suggesting no abnormal trading occurred. The controversy revolves around whether there was insider trading related to the Hamas attack.
