Not to mention that it probably wouldn't have made a difference. Alarms throughout the region were already going off. The Israeli military were caught with their pants down. They were just completely and shockingly unprepared.

That report comes from an Israel backed pressure group. I think every news outlet mentioned has vehemently denied the accusations being made.
This seems like pushback for the criticism they've gotten for executing journalists. There was a CPJ report that showed this being the deadliest month for journalists since they started recording that data.
