“This is Israel’s 9/11. Not since 1973 has there been such a catastrophic intelligence failure in Israel,” said Marc Polymeropoulous, who worked for the CIA for 26 years where he specialized in counterterrorism, the Middle East and South Asia.
Quote:
David Friedman, former U.S. ambassador to Israel in the Trump administration, said, “In the 40 or more years that I’ve been following Israel one way or another, I’ve never seen this happen. I’ve never seen the border breached in this manner. Usually, even one person from Gaza gets close to the border, they’re intercepted and neutralized long before they can do anything. This is just something I’ve never seen before. It’s of course a large intelligence failure.”
How no one knew something was brewing is tacitly curious especially on the Israeli side of things.

Particularly with the 50th anniversary of the 73 attacks squarely in focus.

Something aint quite right.
