Assumption was that Hamas was deterred; it wasn’t. Says former Navy chief: ‘All of Israel is asking itself: Where is the IDF, where is the police, where is the security?’
Precisely 50 years after the Yom Kippur War, Israel was under surprise attack — not by Arab armies, but by the Hamas terrorist group. And with Israeli civilians widely and directly targeted.
As sirens wailed throughout southern and central Israel, and the thuds of rocket impacts and inteBothrceptions reverberated, television and social media platforms began broadcasting clips showing what ought to have been unimaginable — including armed terrorists in what appeared to be a convoy of seven or eight white pick-up trucks, four or five gunmen dismounting from one of them on the street of a southern Israeli city, and a handful of others seen running along the sidewalks, weapons drawn.
As rocket and mortar attacks continued, the IDF confirmed what was unfolding: dozens of terrorists had infiltrated into Israel — some by land, some by air on hang-gliders, and, reportedly, some by sea....
(Well, the important thing is Bibi rammed through his emasculation of the judiciary, so now he doesn't have to worry about going to jail in whatever is left of Israel after this war)
This has been going on long before Bibi's corruption charges. I don't think we need to turn this into a conspiracy and imply Bibi caused this, or wanted this to happen. I agree he is corrupt and even most Israelis didn't want him to neuter the Supreme Court, but Islamic fascists have always wanted to wipe Israel off the map and have been attacking Israel since 1948.
Implying Bibi wanted this to happen is like claiming Bush was in on 9/11. Both are a simple failure of intel.
If you want anyone to blame Trump would be part of it because our allies, including Israel cant trust America because of his constant praising dictators, undermining our intel, FBI AND DOJ and stealing classified documents. NATO and Israel cant trust us with their secrets.
