Examining Intelligence Oversights: Gender and Israeli Generals

Israeli military leadership is facing public scrutiny and criticism after reports revealed that senior officers ignored or dismissed intelligence reports about a major Hamas attack. The military obtained a copy of the battle plan used by Hamas during the attack but wrongly judged that they couldn't carry it out. While there are expectations of resignations or firings after the war, there has been little public outcry or protest against the political and military leadership. Trust in the military remains high among Jewish Israelis, and public anger has been blunted by the military's willingness to take responsibility for the failures.
