This isn’t just an intel failure in Israel - it’s a monumental system-of-systems collapse. It’s a multi year, compound intel failure, a higher management failure, a defence mechanism failure, a redundancy failure, a response failure, a situation management failure, a logistics failure, a military failure.
Here are some questions we should be asking
• how were 5000 rockets accumulated without detection
• how were these 5000 rockets deployed & fired in a mere 20 minutes without triggering alarms
• this operation clearly involved hundreds of men - how weak was your humint/sigint/elint to not pick up?
the Gaza border has cameras, thermal imaging, motion sensors every few meters and sensors to detect wires being cut. You can’t get close to that barrier without getting Israeli patrols on you in minutes.
• What happened ? Was there a coordinated cyber attack to immobilise all these assets?
how were each of these border monitoring assets not islanded & network gapped to prevent a full systems failure?
when the defences were breached for bourse people were pouring in and out. Where were the air assets to prevent reinforcements?
• where was the in-country air support when it was known from OSINT and government assets the path these terror pickup trucks were taking?
• when detection systems failed redundancy mechanisms like drone/air surveillance should’ve been automatically activated. Why wasn’t it?
You’ve had enough warning something could happen given how close to a peace deal with the Saudis you were. Weren’t you paying attention?
• intel chiefs have been busy joining anti government protests and going woke. You didn’t enforce discipline?
