There's an important detail missing from this article:

“They were planning this for a long time. They had everything there, even shampoo and hair conditioner. The lack of intelligence in the IDF and the Shin Bet greatly affected us. We were the scapegoat. The IDF did not take the [terror] balloons and fires seriously. We received a warning three weeks ago. They burned our field and the IDF didn’t take it seriously.

Thank you for sharing this. Really puts into perspective the scale of security failure.

Yes, and I think this is probably a big part of the reason, if they are unhappy with her account.

Or IDF took it seriously?
