But it's the absence which is interesting.

We're next.
Reminds me very much of the war games in the south US, where one general, instead of using electronic comms, used soldiers on motorcycles to carry messages. He absolutely annihilated the other side. Might have been that Cajun guy.
Old school communications. Used runners like we did in WWI.
Millennium Challenge 2002, LTG Van Riper (ret). He made his point.
True but the IDF did learn some Tik-Tok dances that celebrate LGBTQI
There were definitely some traitors inside. There always are.
Yup.
There are multiple aspects to what they are arrogantly defining (i.e., gaslighting) as an ‘intelligence failure’.
Why is Israel gloating? Why are Americans over in Israel. Trump called this Hamas event to happen in August when Biden released the funds to Iran. The Americans should not be in a War Zone. The Parents of the kidnapped children should examine their own motivations for taking their children into a war zone.
(tin hat on)
IMHO the $6 billion (or $16 billion) was a tacit green light. ‘Wink, wink’ and a nod. They then picked a date.
This event is foreboding (to a distinct minority) of what’s to come here. We are governed by evil and we ain’t seen nothing yet.
(tin hat off)
I don’t think that’s tinfoil hat thinking at all. In fact I think it’s damn near obvious. “We are governed by evil and we ain’t seen nothing yet.” Yes. That.
There’s a huge lesson to be learned here....keeping 2 million people in a fenced area in large concentrations, knowing you can deny them food, water and energy whenever you feel like it, has dire consequences.
Turns out if you keep people in such conditions, they have nothing better to do than to plan their revenge.
People who have no hope are hard to fight because they don’t care if they die.
Israel’s high-tech $billion dollar “Iron Dome” failed to stop Hamas massacring young Israelis and other civilians in an “embarrassing intel failure.’
The Iron Dome was promoted as supposedly able to repel what happened.
Even more troubling, American taxpayers financed Israel’s $$billion dollar “Iron Dome,” reassured it was an answer to their pressing security needs.
The U.S. stupidly purchased two of them for our defense.
Americans continue to be gaslighted to promote the hidden agenda of others.
What Is Israel’s Iron Dome Anti-Rocket System?

That’s what I was thinking. Very low tech solution in a high tech environment.
Runners, word-of-mouth, written orders.
Reminds me of communication during our Civil War. Perhaps Hamas even has spies in the Israeli government.
At any rate, they caught Israel totally off guard.
Iron Dome isn’t perfect, but I’d far rather have something like it over me than nothing. One issue is simply that any anti-missile system can be overwhelmed by sheer numbers, and that is what Hamas clearly did launching thousands of rockets in short order.
Israel felt safe under their Iron Dome shield.
Muslims attacked with paragliders, undetected by the Iron Dome system.
Ping
United States completely missed this too. On September 29 our intelligent agencies said that the Middle East is safer than it’s ever been and decades.
You do understand who put them there, and for this exact reason, right? That used to be part of Egypt until Egypt unclaimed it. Israel is forbidden by “international law” from annexing it and fixing it.
Possibly undetected. Certainly deprioritized when rockets are flying around.
