Israeli troops briefed Adm. Rob Bauer, the Dutch chairman of the NATO military committee, on everything they had arrayed along the 32-mile border to stop an invasion: Drones. Cameras. Artificial intelligence. Robots. A tall wall that ran deep into the ground—and seismic sensors to find out if anyone was tunneling under it
Just days after those Israeli troops briefed Admiral Bauer, they were fighting for their lives.
Bauer appeared aghast by how Hamas had dodged Israel’s monolithic system of surveillance.
To prepare the paragliders who ascended Israel’s massive walls, Hamas had to put them out in the open to launch them, he said. And the militant group had to put rocket systems outside to launch those, too.
For NATO, which is doubling down on artificial intelligence, cyberdefense, and new technology that can connect alliance commanders in Belgium with shooters on the eastern flank border with Russia, the attacks were a wake-up call.

When you base all your planning in an unproven new thing, you risk total failure, whatever endeavor you are in.
What if their tech would have been hacked, instead of destroyed, and that tech would be now at Hamas orders?
