Intelligence heads had the write up of the plan from two different observers who were brushed off. They had reports from the border observers that Hamas were practicing raids and testing border strength, many reports from the young women soldiers who staff the posts, the ones who were killed and captured when Hamas broke through.
The heads were told it would be on a holiday with reduced forces. Aspirational? Play-acting for the young wannabe jihadis? No way.
Israel isn’t stupid. Their intelligence is most profoundly not stupid nor in denial. Their upper intelligence echelons wanted this to happen. 1200 Israelis, ten times as many Palestinians so far - thousands of eggs into a grand omelet. To what end?
“Their upper intelligence echelons wanted this to happen.”
Utterly childish slander.
How do you know 12,000 fakestinians have been killed?
Remember the Obama sponsored Arab Spring. Remember Regime Change. Remember the Muslim Brotherhood. Remember the Middle East on fire. Remember ISIS. Remember Beheadings. Remember rapes. Remember Obama
sending Americans to die in a war he started.
Remember the Biden administration did not want Netanyahu to win the Israeli election. I believe Jim Messina worked for the opposition candidate. Mr. Messina also worked for Barack Obama. Remember Regime change in Israel was obviously a goal for both the Obama and Biden administration. Remember
Iran funds Hamas. Remember who runs Israeli border security. Remember who supports the opposition party of Netanyahu. Why did he ignore intelligence reports that showed Hamas was conducting drills for invasion of Israel? Collaboration with the Biden Administration? Treason?
