The attack at the Megiddo junction: all the details about the serious security affair (Walla system!)
The attack at the Megiddo junction, and especially the blackout imposed on it by the security system, created confusion and unrest among the residents of the north close to the Lebanese border.
"The level of ambiguity and the veil of fog with the imposition of censorship on the event, created a situation in which our residents entered into trauma, frenzy, lack of peace and an illogical state of civil confrontation in the field," said Lavala!
The head of the regional council, Mata Asher, and the chairman of the conflict line settlements forum, Moshe Davidovitch.
According to him, "The residents were confused and scared because they saw many forces in the area, and witnessed endless WhatsApp messages and mostly false videos, which created the weakness of the confrontation on the home front.
It is necessary to learn from this and find a way to communicate with the public in a responsible and regular manner.
During the last few days, I expressed my displeasure regarding this matter to the most senior officials in the IDF."
"There are still many questions that are not resolved in our eyes and that we have not received an answer to," he emphasized.
"To our understanding in retrospect, this is an event that began unfolding on Sunday. We were sitting with the commanding general at the time and when he left us we realized that there was an unfolding event and an issue that required special preparation on the part of the IDF.
In retrospect, and to our surprise, we did not receive any information about him and no warning."
The fog screen created a weakness in the front line.

He criticized the security situation at the border.
"The fact that the border has been breached is old news as far as we are concerned, we have been warning about this danger for years, both to the security authorities and in public. It is not a secret. On the contrary, it has already become a well-worn statement as far as we are concerned. When we live, we feel like it. "We have been warned time and time
again that our settlements are exposed to an IDF incident and infiltration," he continued.
"We were alerted in the last two years when again and again migrant workers entered with ease and wandered unhindered in the council's settlements until soldiers or civilians caught them. They were the nachshons who served as an indication to us that even an unskilled and untrained person can cross the border without hindrance.
"It is true that the IDF is currently building a wall from the head of the Nakra to Metula and Mount Dov, but until this wall is completed, a move that will take at least two years, we will continue to be exposed to hazards that may cross the border," he added. "We demand that all additional measures be taken to protect the residents ours in this reality as has been proven in recent days, and that the IDF will use all the means at its disposal and God forbid that a disaster does not happen."
He wanted to add, "I salute the security forces who, together with the IDF, the police and the Shin Bet, acted with unprecedented professionalism at the current time when we are witnessing a serious security situation and a complex situation on the northern border line of the State of Israel."

"The border is well secured - occasionally there are infiltrations, but infiltrators are discovered within a few minutes - but this time it was unusual. But we are not surprised," said Sharon Zaguri, who owns a pizzeria on Route 899 in the Shlomi settlement.
"There are dead spots along the border and we have been warning about this since the event of the late Goldwasser and the Second Lebanon War. The commander of the Northern Command promised in the settlement of Shlomi that these spots would be manned by soldiers until electronic systems were installed, but unfortunately this has not happened to date.
"As residents, we are not afraid, but the lack of updates led to excessive panic," added Zaguri.
"We, as residents of the area, are not moved by either intrusions or intrusions. We trust the IDF and the army would always update in real time, and we could behave accordingly and stay at home at such times, for example.
It's a simple action that saves lives.
But this time instead of that happening we got zero information and there was a lot of worry.
There were drones all day and all night without us understanding why, and then the alert movement of security forces, and we don't understand. What's worse is that it went on for more than a few days, and not an hour or two. It was unbearable the length of time they hid information from us."
"Unbearable that they hid information from us for a long time."

"I'm not worried and I wasn't worried during the week," said Nebo Zamir, secretary of Kibbutz Rosh Hankara, on the other hand.
"I trust the IDF and the security forces that if there is relevant, concrete and important information to publish - they will publish it.
Everyone who lives on the border always has a built-in concern, but this week I had no particular concern.
"There is no system that is 100 percent, there is always a sliver of chance for penetration and it is a fact that most attempts have been thwarted in recent years," he continued.
"Out of curiosity, I wanted to know more, but since there was a decision to ban publication, my assumption was that if there was critical information, they would have given it, and from that I concluded that there was no danger to the residents."
