    Even longer then. Why does it seem like people are surprised about yet another attack? It’s not really new.

      No confirmation, but whoever is writing the stories (yes, a lot of organizations) might have ulterior motives in covering it.

      – attacks might not be new, but the scope is

      – Israel Intelligence is usually pretty good, but preparations must have been going on for months, involving thousands of people. How did they not figure something out.

      – there is a wall, military forces. This is heavily guarded, but that was completely ineffective

      – Israel has very good missile defense. Never before have they had the volume to overwhelm that defense

      – things had seemed peaceful lately, and Israel was trying to gain closer ties with some countries in the region
