“The four women released by Hamas on Saturday … are ‘spotters’ for the army who were stationed in a small military base about a half-mile from the border.”
“In the months leading up to the assault, [a former lookout] Ms. Yerushalmi … said, there were growing signs of something afoot. … the spotters saw convoys of 20 to 30 white pickup trucks filled with Hamas fighters driving along the border with increasing frequency, stopping occasionally and peering into Israel through binoculars. They would also put up drones a few times a day…”
“The spotters reported the activity, she and several relatives of the other lookouts said, but were told by their superiors that their job was to be the eyes, not the brains, of the Israeli military. Their reports, they said, appeared to have been dismissed.”
