I find it very hard to understand how and why the Israel military officials didn’t
Know or suspect all this military build up long before the break out of this war. Some body or some entity was sure sleeping at the wheel on this one!

I seem to recall from some years ago a system under development being reported in “Aviation Week & Space Technology” magazine — back when regular people could still read it — that would detect incoming theatre rounds — either artillery or rocket, quickly dispatch an out-going pin-point guided response round which would land on the original shooter’ positions BEFORE thier round even hit it’s target. I worked on this system some years ago. Is/was called active protection sytem. The Isreali's have one that at the time was better than ours called TROPHY. Have no idea if these programs were ever fielded in a meaningful way. It did work fairly well in field testing.
