Sometime such attacks are due to gross incompetence. That’s probably the case here.
But it also depends on the amount of information coming in every week, week after week. With so much information, it’s often difficult to separate what’s true and what’s just rumor. I’m not making excuses. Just pointing something out.
In my opinion, the real criminals on the Israeli side are those who denied the average Israeli citizen the right to self-defense. Even in the border towns weapons were kept locked up in central locations. They should have been in every home.
A base commander in the Negev told us the story of retreating to her safe room with her children, and being surrounded by terrorists. Her neighbors were incinerated in their homes. Others were hand grenaded as a family.
Her room stayed intact, and she had a 9mm handgun. Hardly enough to handle a boatload of terrorists with AKs. But many of her neighbors were outright killed, while she and her children survived. Tough lady, but she wept recounting that day.
I believe all Jews everywhere should always be armed to the teeth. Israel is loosening up, and allowing more civilian ownership. All American Jews should march down to their local gun shop and pick up ARs, shotguns, and 9mm semiautos, with LOTS of ammo. 10/7 is going to happen here, and we need to be ready.
The streets of Israel today are heavily armed. All reservists are carrying their duty weapons with full mags at the ready (empty chambers with flags). You can’t go a few blocks without seeing at least an M4.
Funny story, second hand to me. A friend was at a dance club at 2:00 a.m. On the floor was a tall long haired shapely young woman wearing a g-string red bikini that barely covered anything. 4” black stilletos. Dancing like a wild woman. With an M4 across her back.
