El Mundo: Spanish Army Intercepts Show Morocco Was Told to Stay Alert Before Crossing
El Mundo reports that Spain's Army Electronic Warfare Regiment No. 32 (REW-32) intercepted communications in Arabic and French on July 27 between Moroccan border-security personnel and their superiors, discussing the possibility of a 'mass entry' into Ceuta timed to Morocco's Throne Day celebrations and instructing personnel to remain alert and reinforce readiness — undercutting later Spanish government claims that Moroccan forces were merely 'passive' during the crossing. A July 27 military assessment reportedly judged a mass entry 'very likely,' yet the warning did not reach Spain's Defense Ministry leadership until the morning of July 30, a delay Spanish military sources called 'very serious and incomprehensible.' The original intercept is also reported missing from the 40 intelligence documents Spain declassified on September 9.
