#1 1) What 'failure' are they talking about? It's not explicitly mentioned in the article.

2) This war's going to be a long one. it's like a sports columnist shitting on a team when they might be down by a run in the first innning of the first game of a seven game series.

#2 It started the same way on Yom Kippur, 1973

Tet Offensive-a sneak attack...
"The Viet Cong (VC) and North Vietnamese People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) launched a sneak attack on January 30, 1968, against the forces of the South Vietnamese Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN), the United States Armed Forces and their allies."

That's a lot of sneakin'.

#4 Both Israel intel and operations failures will be diligently investigated.

Many people will have jobs lost and reputations ruined. This in the IDF, Mossad, Shin Bet and govt.

Unlike in the USA where nobody is held responsible for the disaster of the Afghanistan withdrawal chaos or the weakness that led to the Ukraine invasion, etc.
