There's a massive amount and they are well hidden.
The present campaign has been so comparably efficient (in loss of IDF life) to other historical campaigns that other countries are trying to figure out how Israel pulled it off. The death tolls should be at least a 0 higher if not more.
There's been so many "it can't be done" moments in this thing. Months back the American political system was saying it was impossible to evacuate Rafah. They did. Before that it was impossible to face Hamas on their turf. They have. Before that it was Iron Dome. It got built. Israel is just going to keep doing its thing.
NOW, the thing is doing closing the vulnerabilities in Rafah that allowed the import of everything that was used to prepare for Oct 7th, without exterminating the Gazans. They won't. And on it goes.
And btw you'll get no argument from me on the lengthy lists of errors Israel made before, during, and after Oct 7th. The whole country is talking about it.
