[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact that Israel's border surveillance systems failed so spectacularly is what is shocking. Hamas blew multiple holes through the border wall, disabled the early warning systems, and over-ran multiple entry check points and military outposts. Further, Israel had the border completely under-manned and staffed mostly by reserve soldiers (not the full-time professional soldiers).

Israel was caught completely flat-footed. It's almost incomprehensible.[/quote]

Yes. It really is. When I lived there in the mid-aughts there was a women who was a friend of a friend who lived in the south of Israel - when the war started in 2014 she left her house and was living in her office or on her friend's couches because she was absolutely terrified that Hamas was going to come through tunnels and kidnap people out of their homes. We thought she was paranoid. Iron Dome was working and of course Hamas wasn't going to come across the constantly heavily guarded border. It's mind boggling that it actually happened.[/quote]
