Lessons Learned by the IDF after Oct. 7

(X) Doron Kadosh, military correspondent for Israel Army Radio, shared what the IDF is changing to make sure that the surprises of Oct. 7 never happen again. The IDF will be splitting its intelligence collection operations into more branches and moving the intelligence posts themselves farther away from the border, putting them in a much less vulnerable position in the event of an infiltration. The IDF is increasing the lethality of any soldiers stationed at these posts. All soldiers, including female observers, will be issued small arms to defend their outposts. The remote-operated machine guns and grenade launchers on the border fence require multiple control pods for each post to enable improved response in the event of multiple infiltrations in different locations. Their armor and resistance has also been increased so they can't easily be disabled by drones or other explosives. More of these systems have been installed at more points along the border to increase their range and ability to counter a more diverse array of threats like paragliders.
