There were numerous defensive actions by Israelis on Oct. 7. Probably hundreds of Hamas invaders were killed then. Numbers overwhelmed Israelis because of the dereliction of Southern Command’s Yaron Finkelstein and IDF Intelligence chief Aharon Haliva.
Perhaps I misstated. I realize that on-duty security personnel and police returned fire and accounted for hundreds of terrorists. Security personnel at the Nova rave party, in particular, made heroic efforts. It was the lack of civilians, shooting back with personal firearms, that surprised me. Am I wrong?
I have no doubt that there was serious dereliction from IDF combatant command and intelligence.
One Kibbutz had an Effective Battle Plan.
