The Times of Israel 03 March 2025 Fatal Complacency - Hamas’ October 7, 2023 onslaught Underestimating theterroristsOverestimating 'Fort Knox' Israel
Hamas 'fooled' Israeli intelligence
outgoing IDF chief Herzi Halevi said, “A lot of what we saw [in the hours before the invasion] We attributed to their knowledge? that the cabinet on Sunday might approve a further targeted strike” How can terroristsHamas have knowledge of Israeli cabinet proceedings?
Halevi said, the IDF’s top brass were updated, on the worrying indications from Gaza, 1. at about 3AM on October 7 — three-and-a-half hours before the attack — plenty time?... 2. and that this was unduly late
“The General Staff, me included, entered the picture at about 3AM I think that was too late The first signs came at 9 to 9:30 on the [previous] evening… But they were insufficient…”
plenty time?... makes no sense
Operation Thunderbolt
04 July 1976 Israeli forces conducted one of the most audacious, daring and successful military operations in the nation's history, to rescue Jewish civilian hostages held by terrorists, at the Entebbe Airport, in Uganda, more than 2,000 miles away, within a week
Hamas assumes Israel today is not the Israel of the old when Israeli leaders would never have let, 1. their kibbutzim be overrun byterrorists 2. and their soldiers carted off to captivity
makes no sense
