It might be the worst intelligence failure since the 1973 Yom Kippur War, a conflict that almost destroyed Israel after a surprise attack from Syria and Egypt. Israel was on the brink as Syrian forces reclaimed the Golan Heights, and it was by sheer luck that this invading force didn’t move further to capture the key bridges along the Jordan River.
Israel’s heartland would’ve been wide open. The game could’ve been over, so Israel continues to respond forcefully against incursion by terrorists and its Arab neighbors since it’s a nation with no strategic depth. How Jerusalem was caught sleeping amid this latest assault by Hamas on October 7 must be investigated since Shin Bet and Mossad are some of the most capable agencies in the world.
This attack occurred on the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, and like that last war, the assault began during a Jewish holiday. Hamas used Simchat Torah to launch thousands of rockets as cover for a land, sea, and air assault that could only have been made possible with outside help, considering its sophisticated nature.
Iran has admitted they helped plan the assault, to no one’s surprise except the inept and weak Biden administration who might have been caught subsidizing terror operations with these billion-dollar care packages to the Islamic Republic.
The death toll has risen to 700, with reports of kidnappings, rapes, and murder of Israeli citizens caught in the fighting.
Hamas operatives paraglided into Southern Israel, with other terrorists attacking over two dozen areas along the Gaza border. As Katie wrote today, this is Israel’s 9/11, and some Americans were also kidnapped and murdered by these terrorists.

The footprint from Hamas was around 1,000 terrorists who stormed the infiltrated Israeli territory. Border Police and other forces are still fighting to restore order to the security situation in the area, but tanks and troops are being mobilized for a ground assault. Around 100,000 Israeli troops are ready to go into Gaza, with more reservists expected to be called up as Israel expects this to erupt into a multi-front war. Hezbollah has already launched rocket and mortar attacks in the northern Israel (via Associated Press):

Wow. Hezbollah claims responsibility for rocket and mortar fire that targeted multiple Israeli positions in the north.
Israel has already responded by striking Hezbollah locations.
