    This has been my main question these few days, the ever hyped and ‘perfect’ Iron Dome. And Mossad, an Intelligence agency considered one of the best in the world. Where did the failure happen?

    Don’t get me wrong. This attack was a tragedy. But what happened to the security infrastructure that Israel is so proud of

      The best educated, non conspiratorial guess I can offer is that the sheer number of projectiles overwhelmed the system.

      That’s accepting that the reports of thousands of rockets launched is accurate, mind you.

      I don’t think it’s a conspiracy. It’s the first question my wife asked when I told her about it. Neither of us believe that this could have happened without Mossad knowing about it.

      The dome is pretty great but hamas claims 5k missiles launched and other sources say at least 2k. There’s no way they’re going to intercept them all. As for the intelligence failure, who knows.

      I would say the agency dealing with homeland terrorism (I guess this is the way Israel looks at this) would rather be Shin Bet than Mossad.
