It is good that this video is being released.
But I have to ask: Were these female Israeli spotters armed? They should have been armed to the teeth. And that includes machine guns.
If they were armed, then what happened? And if they were unarmed, then shame on the Israeli government for not trusting those poor souls with the means to defend themselves.
A lot of the IDF killed on Oct. 7 did shoot back but ran out of ammo.
Hours-long response time by IDF sealed the victims’ fate. Military Intelligence Aharon Haliva, Shin Bet Ronen Bar, and Southern Command Yaron Finkelman directly responsible, but others are also at risk.
Armed civilians in Israel are limited to possessing 50 rounds, and have to turn in spent ones to get more. Civilian security teams generally have weapons locked up in a central location. Little chance to respond to a surprise attack.
I don’t know if they were armed, but a while back I read they knew something nefarious was going on with planning some attack, but the government (or their superiors) did not listen.
