How did Israel miss what Hamas was planning?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:26:35 GMT

Jamie Dettmer is opinion editor at POLITICO Europe. The massive assault on Israel by Iran-backed Hamas militants is as bad an intelligence fiasco for the country as 1973’s Yom Kippur War, when Egypt and Syria launched a joint offensive unforeseen by Israel’s vaunted intelligence services.No doubt Hamas commanders chose to launch their astonishing breakout from Gaza — the 140-square-mile coastal enclave Israel closely monitors with multiple layers of surveillance — on the war’s 50th anniversary for theatrical effect.But despite such intense digital and satellite monitoring, as well as the use of predictive and facial-recognition technologies, Hamas caught Israel’s security services as off-guard as Egypt and Syria did half a century ago.Back then, Western intelligence services seem to have been wrong-footed just as they are now — perhaps because they’re so focused on Ukraine and Russia.But the Yom Kippur War left a legacy of recrimination surrounding Israel’s intelligence service...

Column: A Chicago Bears win — finally! — plus all the good vibes that come with it. ‘It’s a feeling you never want to end.’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:26:35 GMT

Wow. Just wow. Whatever that was the Chicago Bears were feeling late Thursday night, quarterback Justin Fields didn’t want the sensation to recede. Fields tried to describe the mood in the Bears locker room at Fed Ex Field, that intoxicating mix of satisfaction, joy, relief, unity and adrenaline.“It just felt good,” Fields said, “seeing all the hard work pay off. Especially getting a (win) after everything that has happened this year.”Fields knew he wanted those vibes to be everlasting. He wanted to stay moonwalking on that cloud with that ear-to-ear grin and the exhilaration pumping in sync with the music.“It’s a feeling you never want to end,” he said.This is what Thursday night’s emphatic 40-20 thumping of the Washington Commanders delivered for the Bears, what the end of an 11-month, 14-game losing streak ushered in. Exultation. Fulfillment. Pride. It was all to be grabbed and appreciated, all to be carried forward.T...

Orioles pitcher Grayson Rodriguez, who will start ALDS Game 2 vs. Rangers, ‘prepared for this moment’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:26:35 GMT

Two of the most formative starts of Grayson Rodriguez’s nascent big league career have come against the Texas Rangers. Sunday’s will add another to that list.In early April, the Orioles’ top pitching prospect entering the season pitched well in his MLB debut against the Rangers in Arlington, just three hours from his hometown. Just over 50 days later, Texas battered Rodriguez so badly that the Orioles sent the youngster to the minor leagues the next day.His start Sunday in Game 2 of the American League Division Series might not have the same emotions of a debut or a demotion-worthy drubbing. But it will be the biggest start of Rodriguez’s life, as the 23-year-old will deliver the first pitch from Camden Yards’ mound at 4:07 p.m. Sunday for the most pivotal game the Orioles have played in seven years.Rodriguez will pitch opposite Rangers ace Jordan Montgomery, who threw seven shutout innings against the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 1 of the wild-card seri...

After falling short of the postseason, how do the Chicago Cubs take a step forward organizationally for 2024?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:26:35 GMT

When Dansby Swanson signed his seven-year, $177 million deal with the Chicago Cubs in December, he came to the organization expecting a commitment to winning.Year 1 fell short of the playoffs, and how the Cubs stumbled down the stretch with poor play ended the season on a sour note. As the organization dissects the underlying issues of what went wrong over the final three weeks, they won’t dismiss the positives that came out of a winning season.“With how we finished people are going to think it’s further off than it actually is,” Swanson said after their final game. “There’s a lot of really, really talented players not only here but obviously in the lower levels that can contribute and then offseason free agency, there’s plenty of moves that can be done there as well that could really get us over the hump and rolling in the right direction. But definitely a good step this year, definitely confident with things moving forward.“W...

MLB notes: Ex-Phillips coach Kevin Graber leads Cubs AA affiliate to first title in 45 years

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:26:35 GMT

Kevin Graber had been offered opportunities like this before, but the longtime Phillips Academy baseball coach realized this time things were different. His children, who had long been his priority and a major reason why he got out the professional game in the first place, were now all grown up and away in college. Suddenly the prospect of joining an MLB organization seemed a lot more appealing.So a year ago this week Graber took the plunge and officially joined the Chicago Cubs as a minor league coach. He couldn’t have imagined the whirlwind that awaited.Originally hired as the Cubs’ spring training complex coordinator, Graber wound up being promoted twice over the course of the season, first to roving minor league field coordinator and then to manager of the Tennessee Smokies, the Cubs’ Double-A affiliate. Under his leadership the Smokies took off, and recently the club captured its first Southern League championship since 1978.“A little bit different than ...
