The planning that went into October, I mean, Jack Posobiec, I got him on the show by phone that morning as we did the Saturday War Room, as we always do, and we covered it live.
And it was pretty stunning, the scale of it.
I mean, it was over 40 miles.
It was air-sea land.
They had, what, the paragliders.
They eventually found out they had floor plans for many of the kibbutzes.
They absolutely knew about the Nova Music Festival and what to do there.
They actually knew who the guards were on different guard towers.
I mean, the level of sophistication of their knowledge was shocking.
And given the Hamas...
Has never been known as a particularly, you know, they're terrorists, but haven't been known for military operations.
This was to pull off a military operation.
Did that shock you at the time of how sophisticated that operation was?
Well, look, it was sophisticated, but it was also very low tech.
9-11, it was eight guys with box cutters.
And because it was so low tech, they were able to penetrate the system.
So too in Gaza, they had about 6,000 fighters on bicycles, tractors, and walking around in sandals and motorcycles.
So it was so low tech, I think the Israelis did not
anticipate something that low-tech.
Hamas had done recon for years and knew where to go and what they were doing, but it was a very low-tech assault.
