Was this an inside job? A stand down? Complacency?

Who knows...

“an event like this could happen”

If that is how vague the warning was then I can understand why Israel took no action based on it.

‘COULD’ happen.

Well, it ‘DID’ happen and the savages are going to pay a heavy price.

End of discussion.

I think it was a deliberate security lapse....things just don't happen in a vacuum....

the absolute horror that was done and the filming of it seems so evil and suspicious.

The Israelis got caught with their pants down. Too much reliance on electronics. No fast reaction forces on alert. It would be standard security to maintain heightened alertness going into a Holiday. They apparently didn’t. All the excuses in the world can’t cover up this massive cockup.

Always back up electronic surveillance with the Mark 1 Eyeball.

There is a lot of division within the Israeli government at this time which may have played into this, plus there seems to be a lot of effort being expended to support of Ukraine intelligence.

Both may have played into this .

However, any of the purported intelligence would also have been communicated to the US as well.

Time will tell.

The Biden admin could even have fed bad or deceptive Intel to Israel.
Or they could have their own versions of the 51 Intel officials who deceived everyone into thinking Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinfo.

could happen

And how many times were similar warnings not realized?

There are more "known" threats and warnings that don't wind up occurring than do.

Without the source material he's talking about, we'll never know how reliable or specific the intel was.

Any way to try to make the babies’ deaths or an Israeli retaliation look bad for Israel. No, this is not on Israel.

One thing wrong with this picture is that congressmen aren’t supposed to reveal what they really learn in “closed door intelligence hearings.” But they can talk, talk, talk about what they didn’t hear.
Which suggests to me he didn’t actually hear that.

It is actually TMI. Some congresscritter is trying to act important.

Revelation of this type of information compromises what few intelligence resources we might have in the area.

There is a time to reveal this type of information, this ain't it.

Did they directly tell the prime minister? That’s where it went wrong if they didn’t.
