IDF lookouts who had warned their commanders that they were concerned about the situation along the Gaza border in the months before the October 7 attack were told to stop bothering them and even threatened with a court-martial, N12 reported on Saturday.

According to the report, the lookouts warned that they had seen unusual training and other actions taking place next to the border, with more and more people suddenly getting near the fence in the months leading up to the attack.

The lookouts felt that they weren't being heard; one of them decided to go directly to a senior commander in the area and was told "I don't want to hear again about this nonsense. If you all bother us again with these things, you'll be court-martialed."

N12 additionally reported on Saturday that lookouts who served along the Gaza border are not receiving psychological help from the army and were recently told that they would need to return to service within two weeks or be transferred elsewhere.

"The IDF and its commanders accompany all the soldiers who were present at the events of October 7 closely and sensitively," the military told N12 in response to the report.

I think there is a similar story concerning Pearl Harbor. A radar facility spotted what looked like a large number of planes head for the island and were told it was nothing to be concerned about.

You are delusional

Hamas is not known for cooperating with your insanity

Putting aside what Hamas did and Israel’s, 100% justified response, there are still a lot of questions that need to be answered.

Garbage. You’re essentially saying da Joos were privvy to a potential massacre of their own peope for some nefarious objective. The fact of the matter is that there was a failure to read the tea leaves. With tragic consequences. But certainly not deliberate. Same goes for Pearl Harbor and 9/11. No conspiracy theories needed

Just to recap: Obama sent billions in cash to Iran as a slush fund to avoid a domestic paper trail. Some of that money was used to rig elections for the elite. Once Slow Joe got installed, he left billions of dollars of military equipment in Afghanistan which made its way to Hamas by way of Iran. When they needed a crisis, they created it with those weapons. The American MIC and the Iranian MIC are both making obscene profits from the Russian war in Ukraine, and they want it to continue. The merchants of death don't care how many get killed. They care only about their profits. Its the evil way the world works actually: greed.

Au contraire! "Lethality" is a huge selling point for us merchants of death.

What’s the point of even having “lookouts” on the border?
