Intelligence Challenges
- Hamas's primitive communication systems made it difficult for Israeli intelligence to penetrate.
- Conversely, Israel effectively penetrates modern societies like Hezbollah and Iran due to their advanced electronic communications.

- Nadav Eyal believes that, in retrospect, it's difficult to judge whether this delay was a mistake.
