What really happened in the years leading up to the October 7th attacks, and why did critical warnings fail to reach the frontline? In this deep-dive retrospective, an IDF reservist joins the show to walk through the systemic intelligence failures, military blind spots, and crucial events that the mainstream media completely overlooked.
