tel aviv - Five female Israeli spotters, who predicted Hamas actions on October 7, reunite after 15 months of captivity, demanding attention to their warnings.
Emotional Reunion of Female Israeli Spotters
Five female 'spotters', stationed near the Gaza border on October 7, reunite after over 15 months of captivity. Physically and emotionally exhausted, they form an unbreakable bond. Despite their warnings prior to 7/10, which were disregarded, high-ranking officers and the nation must now listen to them.
The storming of the Nahal Oz military base was a tragic event on October 7. The female spotters, who constantly monitored camera feeds, had repeatedly alerted about suspicious Hamas activities leading up to the attack. Their warnings went unheeded, resulting in devastating consequences.
Dozens of female soldiers, including fifteen spotters, were slaughtered that day with seven taken to Gaza by terrorists. While some were rescued, others faced tragic fates. Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy, Karina Ariev, Liri Albag, and Agam Berger, the last female soldier in Gaza, were finally released after a long period of captivity.
The emotional reunion took place after Berger's rescue, marking a poignant moment of solidarity among these young women who were abandoned on that fateful day. The lack of firearms among the spotters despite the imminent threat from Gaza highlighted the unpreparedness of the situation.
Despite clear signs of Hamas activities, such as terrorist convoys near the border and hostage training, the warnings were ignored due to what Israeli media described as a mix of arrogance and chauvinism within the military leadership.
Pressure for an official inquiry into the events of October 7 has intensified following the release of the female spotters. Families of the victims demand accountability and answers for the tragic lapses in security and intelligence that led to the loss of lives.
