Israeli investigations: Operational errors led to the success of Operation Shuafat

A translation of "Jerusalem" dot com - The Hebrew newspaper "Haaretz" stated, on Tuesday, that the initial investigations of the Israeli army in the " Shuafat " checkpoint operation last Saturday evening, which led to the death of a female soldier and the wounding of others, revealed that there are many shortcomings in the work of the security forces in the place. .


The newspaper referred to what was shown by the video clip that was published from the security cameras of the checkpoint, which shows how the terrorist arrived and exited the vehicle, approached the soldiers and security guards who were standing in the place, fired from a short distance and fled without the soldiers having enough time to respond effectively to him.


According to the newspaper, it appears from the video, and investigations confirmed many operational errors, and it appears that the level of vigilance of the guards was low, despite the wave of attacks in recent weeks.


It showed that the exit of the vehicle in contravention of the instructions at the checkpoint did not receive any reaction from the soldiers and security guards, who were standing in great numbers, in a way that endangered them and made it difficult for them to act, and many of them were seen trying to escape, although they were all armed.


Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz visited, and before him the Chief of Staff of his forces, Aviv Kochavi, and saw a picture of what happened, and promised to draw lessons to prevent such attacks.
