Yes, you are spot on. It is back to business as usual in Israel. As for Trump, what an embarrassment on the eve of his inauguration. What a disgrace all around. Time for the Maccabees to rise again. I will write about this soon.
I read this the first time, noted it, and couldn't stop thinking of it:
"The chief operations officer of the IDF on October 7 – the man responsible for the position of forces and the man who refused requests for helicopters moved to the south that fateful night"
Someone on my 'Stack, a Vietnam vet, asked me about helicopters.
"Israel is small," he said. "Why weren't helicopters immediately deployed...." (paraphrasing)
This is a key conversation in Israel. Apparently the two helicopters were sent to defend the gas fields. The air force inexplicably didn’t have the full picture until much later.
Why were there not more helicopters and fighters in stand-bye? In the air?

WHY? Has anyone grilled him on this??

The scandal has yet to be uncovered.
