The Israeli Air Force’s Alarming Lack of Readiness Revealed in Recent Investigation

An eye-opening investigation by the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation, KAN, has unveiled shocking details about the Air Force’s unpreparedness for Hamas’ attack last year. The report disclosed that on Oct. 7, only two aircraft and two helicopters were ready for deployment, marking the lowest level of readiness ever.

Israeli officials have labeled this incident as one of the country’s greatest military and intelligence failures, tarnishing Tel Aviv’s global reputation. The internal investigation conducted by the Air Force revealed that senior commanders failed to present a clear picture of the situation, leading to disastrous consequences.

Despite an Israeli drone surveilling the Gaza Strip, no unusual activities were detected inside Gaza before the attack. Israeli fighter jets were deployed only to protect strategic assets, failing to reach the actual conflict zone for hours. The first strike against Hamas fighters occurred hours after the attack began, further highlighting the lack of preparedness.

The aftermath of the onslaught in Gaza has been catastrophic, with thousands of casualties and severe shortages of basic necessities. As Israel faces accusations of genocide, the repercussions of this failure continue to reverberate.
