Long form summary via Bing:


On October 7, 2023, a significant event unfolded along the border of Israel. The high-tech border fence, a formidable defense system known as the "Iron Wall", was breached by Hamas fighters. This was no ordinary breach; it was a calculated and strategic operation that utilized a method referred to as the "blinding plan".

The "blinding plan" was a tactical approach designed to neutralize the advanced surveillance and defense mechanisms of the "Iron Wall". This included the disabling of cameras, sensors, and remote-control weapons that were integral components of the border defense system. The strategy was not only effective but also demonstrated a level of sophistication in the tactics employed by Hamas fighters.

The details of this event were pieced together through an extensive analysis of digital footprints left in the online sphere. Hundreds of videos and photos posted online served as pieces of a complex puzzle. These included visuals from body cameras worn by the fighters and footage from security cameras stationed along the border. Each piece of evidence offered a unique perspective and contributed to a comprehensive understanding of the events that transpired.

One of the key findings from the analysis was a critical misjudgment on the part of Israel's security establishment. It appears that the intentions and capabilities of Hamas were underestimated, leading to a lapse in the defense of the "Iron Wall". This misjudgment proved costly as it allowed for the successful breach by Hamas fighters.

In conclusion, the breach of Israel's "Iron Wall" on October 7, 2023, marked a significant event in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. It highlighted the evolving tactics of Hamas fighters and exposed vulnerabilities in Israel's high-tech border defense system. The event also underscored the importance of accurate threat assessment and the need for continuous adaptation in the face of evolving security challenges.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


In December 2021, Israel’s military said a high-tech upgrade to the barrier that had long surrounded the Gaza Strip would protect nearby Israeli residents from the threat of violence from militants.

The video details how Hamas fighters neutralized long-range cameras, sophisticated sensors and remote-control weapons — a tactic known inside the group as the “blinding plan” — to breach the high-tech fence.

By comparing the footage with maps, satellite imagery and other data, reporters pinpointed where the intrusions occurred — from the Erez crossing in the north to Kerem Shalom in the south.

Training videos showing militants attacking mock-ups of Israeli compounds had been posted to social media months earlier and were visible to all.

Videos posted to social media after the attack began showed that Hamas fighters had been training for months on the tactics it used to breach the fence.

Chris Dehghanpoor, Loveday Morris, Shira Rubin, Jon Gerberg, Samuel Granados, Lauren Tierney, Artur Galocha, and Aaron Steckleberg contributed to this report.

Bibi got played, all his goons were in the West Bank.

How do you change leaders during a war cabinet?

No they didn't. When you buy an existential threat it needs to do actual damage in occasion or people lose interest.

Ironic. The IDF was so busy colonizing and terrorizing the West Bank that they had nobody to guard their own country.
