Love Yehuda Lave Join my blog by sending me an email to YehudaLave@gmail.com Failure at the Fence: How Hamas breached Israel's "Iron Wall" | The Washington Post + @frontline When Israeli military leaders said in 2021 that a $1 billion revamp of the long-standing barrier along the Gaza Strip would prevent incursions from Hamas, people living in the nearby Kfar Aza kibbutz trusted them. "They build a big wall, they said to us," resident Israel Lender, 65, said in an interview for this film, a collaboration between The Washington Post and @frontline. "We believed that this can protect us," he said. The documentary examines the barrier's catastrophic failure. The investigation found that the so-called Iron Wall was in fact a fragile barrier that gave Israel a false sense of security. A dependence on the structure and its sophisticated surveillance tools ultimately blinded Israel to its own vulnerabilities — and to a meticulous plan of attack that was taking shape on the other side. The film expands on a visual investigation published by The Post last month, which reconstructed the attack: • How Israel's high-tech 'Iron Wall' cr... Reporters analyzed hundreds of videos, photos, and audio recordings from before, during and after the assault by Hamas. The Post also examined maps and planning documents recovered from slain Hamas fighters. In retaliation for the Hamas attack, Israel unleashed a war in Gaza that has so far killed more than 18,000 Palestinian civilians, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. Israel has vowed to eradicate Hamas, which controls the densely populated enclave. The film premieres Tuesday on PBS and streaming platforms and online at washingtonpost.com.

It was a highlight to my experience in living in Israel and I put it on my blog each day to remember. The articles that I include each day are those that I find interesting, so I feel you will find them interesting as well. I don't always agree with all the points of each article but found them interesting or important to share with you, my readers, and friends. It is cathartic for me to share my thoughts and frustrations with you about life in general and in Israel. As a Rabbi, I try to teach and share the Torah of the G-d of Israel as a modern Orthodox Rabbi. I never intend to offend anyone but sometimes people are offended and I apologize in advance for any mistakes. The most important psychological principle I have learned is that once someone's mind is made up, they don't want to be bothered with the facts, so, like Rabbi Akiva, I drip water (Torah is compared to water) on their made-up minds and hope that some of what I have share sinks in. Love Rabbi Yehuda Lave.
