This is not so much an Israeli intelligence failure as a Palestinian intelligence victory. The dreaded Shin Bet defeated by a root-and-branch Palestinian counter-intelligence operation. The collaborator network in Gaza has been completely dismantled. We’re in a new world.

"There is a Jew who lives–by force—in half of my home in Jerusalem, and he does so by 'divine decree.' Many others reside—by force—in Palestinian houses, while their owners linger in refugee camps. It isn’t my fault that they are Jewish." -- Mohammed El-Kurd mondoweiss.net/2023/09/jewi...

Jewish settlers stole my house. It’s not my fault they’re Jewish.
Palestinians are told the words we use dwarf the decades of violence enacted against us by the self-proclaimed Jewish State. A drone is one thing, but a trope—a trope is unacceptable. No more.
