According to a Walla report, the security coordinator of Havat Gilad informed the IDF of a planned trip hours before the attack in Kfar Tel, provided the full route, and warned of a lack of security. The coordinator wrote that he was 'connecting forces,' but the trip was not approved through required channels and no armed escort was assigned, the report states.
The Walla report sheds new light on the security failures leading up to the attack in Kfar Tel. The security coordinator of Havat Gilad, a Jewish community in Samaria, contacted the IDF hours before the attack, sharing the planned route of a trip and warning that no security escort was arranged. The military source acknowledged the message but the trip proceeded without proper authorization. The report raises questions about the coordination between local security and military forces in Judea and Samaria.
