'So, [on a] population adjusted basis, when 20 Israelis are killed, or 20 hostages are captured, that's like 1,000 Americans,' James Stavridis said.
James Stavridis, a former high-ranking leader within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization , compared the recent Hamas attack in Israel to a '9/11 level event,' relative to population, while also deeming the situation a major intelligence failure.On Saturday, the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched a surprise attack against Israel, with gunmen infiltrating the nation's border and dozens of rockets being launched against it.
This really is reminiscent of the Yom Kippur War 50 years ago, almost exactly, when again, the Israelis were shocked by that war.'He continued: 'So, point one, intelligence failure, got to take that apart in a very serious way. Got to also ask: where was U.S. intelligence on this? I think you're going to hear more on both those fronts shortly.
