"Israel Army Paper Tiger，Picked The Right Time" | How Hamas Trained for "Raid Behind Enemy Lines"（CRUX，2023年10月10日）
The Palestinian militant out Hamas had thoroughly prepared its October 7 multi-front assault on Israel, as per reports. The daring attack, that took Tel Aviv by surprise, had been in the works for nearly two years, analysts and sources within Israel say.
The Hamas operation was clouded in secrecy with Israel having no inkling that the Palestinian group was preparing for such a massive attack. The October 7 assault is the worst breach in Israel's defences since Arab armies waged war in 1973.

Thousands of "special interest aliens" from numerous countries, including the Middle East, have been arrested by Border Patrol agents while attempting to cross the U.S. southern border illegally over the last two years, according to internal Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data leaked to Fox News.
"Special interest aliens" are people from countries identified by the U.S. government as having conditions that promote or protect terrorism or potentially pose some sort of national security threat to the U.S.
That data, confirmed by multiple CBP sources and reflects apprehensions between ports of entry between October 2021 and October 2023, shows that agents encountered 6,386 nationals from Afghanistan in that period as well as 3,153 from Egypt, 659 from Iran and 538 from Syria.
