An operational and incredible propaganda coup, I'll say that. No one's done anything like this since really 1948? Internecine raiding and counterraiding in the 50s-60s (where Sharon first made his bones btw) but even that never reached near this scale. And to do it on the anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, well.
Idk if it punctures the myth of Israeli invincibility - that's been in decline since roughly 1982 - but certainly the myth of more or less domestic security. Suicide bombings, kidnappings, small incursions, yes, but this is the 1st time in the history of Israel that security has failed on this level. And Netanyahu's whole thing is that he's supposed to be the strongman who will protect you and your family.
Unfortunately when hardline stuff fails it's never an opportunity for criticism or self-examination, always an opportunity to double-down. And his statement was extremely grim.
Extremely grim couple of days all around.
