    Israel’s 9/11: Egyptian officials tells media that there were warnings

    .. what’s next?!

    It’s interesting how, just like 9/11 in the United States, Israel now is coping with an aftermath of what could be a massive ‘intelligence failure’ preceding the events of this weekend..

    But like 9/11, it appears there were warnings..

    The New York POST reporting, among other sources. THE AP wore got it first:

    “We have warned them an explosion of the situation is coming, and very soon, and it would be big. But they underestimated such warnings,” the Egyptian official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press.

    Israel was caught flat-footed in the lead-up to the attack by Hamas, whose terrorists broke through border barriers to launch a brazen attack that has so far killed at least 800 people and wounded over 2,000, with the numbers expected to climb.

    “This is a major failure,” said Yaakov Amidror, a former national security adviser to Netanyahu. “This operation actually proves that the (intelligence) abilities in Gaza were no good.”

    Meanwhile rumors abound of what happens next. Nations appear to be taking sides and tensions appear to be boiling over across cities and continents. Rumors of war and threats of terror suddenly en vogue again after all these years.

    Laura Loomer is among those stirring tension with dire predictions of sleeper cells being activated for more terror..

  • THE NEW MIDDLE EAST WAR, 2023

    THE NEW MIDDLE EAST WAR, 2023

    FROM PRESS REPORTS:

    Israeli soldiers battled Hamas fighters in the streets of southern Israel on Sunday and launched retaliation strikes that leveled buildings in Gaza, while in northern Israel a brief exchange of strikes with Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group raised fears of a broader conflict.

    There was still some fighting underway more than 24 hours after an unprecedented surprise attack from Gaza, in which Hamas militants, backed by a volley of thousands of rockets, broke through Israel’s security barrier and rampaged through nearby communities. They took captives back into the coastal Gaza enclave, including women, children and the elderly, who they will likely try to trade for thousands of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. Hundreds have been killed on both sides.

    The high death toll, multiple captives and a slow response to the onslaught pointed to a major intelligence failure and undermined the long-held perception that Israel has eyes and ears everywhere in the small, densely populated territory it has controlled for decades.

    Hebron’s ‘Ghost Town’: What’s Life Like for the Last Boy on Shuhada Street?

    Sort of a creepy read from Paul Goldman at NBC:

    Every bike ride outside his home feels perilous to nine-year-old Yousef Rajabi.“The [Jewish] settlers harass me and I get death threats,” he told NBC News, referring to nearby residents. “They say to me that Palestinians should not live here.”

    Yousef lives on Shuhada Street in Hebron, a once-bustling Palestinian thoroughfare that has been emptied of most of its original inhabitants. The street is Yousef’s playground — but one that is empty of all other children.

    He and his mother, who are among just four Palestinian families to still live on the street which once featured hundreds of homes as well as 450 shops, are on the front line of the Israeli struggle to ensure Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank are safe from attack.

    Some 330,000 Jews live in the West Bank, which Israel invaded in 1967 and Palestinians believe is an essential part of a future state.
