    I honestly wonder what the fuck every israeli intel agency was doing, it as the anniversary of the Yom Kippur war, how did they not see SOMETHING coming is beyond my ability to comprehend

    • Evil tongues suggest they might have been looking away.

      I also find it weird how Israel claims since 5 weeks theyd be shelling thousands of terrorist targets, having intricate knowledge of where these are. But apparently Israel didnt notice anything unusual happening there that would indicate an imminent attack…

      I remember the discussions in the months prior to Russia invading Ukraine, where activities were noticed to prepare the attack and question was, if Russia is going to or not.

      How the fuck are invasion preparations on known sites in a tiny and well surveilled totally surrounded are not noted?

        Based on what I have read the Oct 7 attack was not planned through known sites, possibly by word of mouth.
        Russia has a lot more equipment to move via logistics than Hamas does for guerilla attacks, they amassed on the Ukraine border before the invasion.

        • They used, among other things: over 5.000 rockets, drones, anti-tank launchers, anti-air launchers, motorized paragliders, dozens of cars and thousands of firearms.

          You cannot amass these things by “word of mouth”. And if Israel didn’t know where these 5.000 rockets were launched from, then their claim about knowing where all the terrorist targets would be, seems not very believable.

            One certainly could. The biggest, most complicated war in human history was waged long before the internet was created, all logistics needed coordinated offline.

            if Israel didn’t know where these 5.000 rockets were launched from

            They were launched from Gaza.
