Israeli Security Failure. Who Missed What? Why? How?
“The deadly weekend attacks by Hamas have cast a nation into mourning, forced a political reckoning — and are prompting a shocked reconsideration of one of Israel’s greatest points of pride, its technical sophistication.
On Saturday, Israel’s vaunted $1 billion security barrier on the Gaza border failed, as Hamas fighters used simple bulldozers to plow through and armed paragliders to soar above it. Barrages of rockets penetrated Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system. And Israel’s surveillance system — a dense network of drones, cameras and cyber snooping — was proven fatally insufficient, with Hamas able to both work around and overwhelm it.”
Israel and the West in general had a massive security lapse that shocked the World over the weekend. Why and how are the big questions as the complete failure will inevitably invite recriminations as to who was at fault for the deadly lapse. Now as the World continues to recover from the pandemic and the Global economy remains fragile another crisis such Israeli/Hamas War could veer everything towards recession.
