Israeli forces were unable to catch Gaza militants off guard despite advance planning and coordination with intelligence assets, Shehab Wire reported. The operation, which involved Israeli spy personnel and targeted western Gaza, was carried out with careful tactical preparation and strategic cunning but failed to achieve surprise against its intended targets on the ground.
The assessment indicates that Gaza-based armed groups maintained sufficient operational awareness to anticipate and respond to the Israeli incursion. The militants' ability to counter the operation despite the intelligence advantages and preparatory work deployed by Israeli forces suggests they had either detected advance warning signs or possessed contingency readiness for such attacks.
