You state, “Military intelligence is much an art as a science. Technology can only provide so much information, it usually requires humans on the ground to sniff out stuff the enemy is trying to keep secret.”
I would agree and I am reminded that when Jimmy Carter became President he named Adm. S. Turner to run the CIA. Turner was a great believer in technology, and the agents on the ground were greatly reduced. The CIA has never really recovered from that simplistic look at intelligence gathering.

Articles such as these intimate that Israel knew and wanted a massacre so that they had reason to militarily destroy GAZA.

Like most things. Look at any group of "experts." Medical bigwigs and Corona; scientists and global warming; educators and Johnnie can't read; economists and Johnnie's grandkids still get food stamps...
