BBC: Israel “stayed asleep” – secret forces failed

A BBC analyst says that Israeli forces failed to anticipate the most violent attack launched by Hamas

In its analysis, the BBC talks about the failure of the Israeli secret forces after the surprise attack launched by Hamas.

As the British media analyst points out, “The country has one of the most extensive and sophisticated intelligence networks in the Middle East, both domestically and abroad. It has informants involved within armed groups not only in the Palestinian territories but in Lebanon, Syria and elsewhere.”

“In the past, he was able to assassinate militant leaders with either precision drone strikes or even beleaguered cell phones. But today, at the end of a Jewish holiday, he appears to have been caught asleep.”

Hamas was able to plan and launch this carefully coordinated attack on Israel in what appears to be complete secrecy. It is recognized that Israel will respond with enormous force. But Israelis will now wonder why their nation’s spies did not pick up on what came to warn the country accordingly.”
