Amit Yerushalmi, who served in the IDF as a lookout at the Nahal Oz base near the Gaza border, spoke Tuesday to the civilian committee investigating the October 7 failures.
Yerushalmi completed her IDF service one month before the October 7 massacre.
“I saw training exercises,” she recounted. “It used to be an exercise once a month, twice a month. It turned into once a week and slowly, slowly, became several times a week, and even several times a day. I also saw a change in where the exercises were held. There were times that the training exercises were not held in the training area, which was also suspicious. I saw an increase in disruptions of order on the border.”
It seems people got complacent and stopped talking.
