The Secret Israeli Officer Spy
Who was he working for?
Inexplicably, while the entire Israeli army, including the highly regarded Israeli Air Force, was frozen in inactivity for ten critical hours while the citizens they existed to protect were being slaughtered in the most brutal way, a certain Israeli individual, a reserve officer not called-up, donned his uniform and insinuated himself into the most sensitive command posts of the Southern Command, and weaseled his way into top-secret mission-critical staff meetings where plans were being made with verified intelligence for commando raids to rescue hostages. This individual, who cannot be named by court order, took extensive notes and recorded meetings and photographed top secret documents with his smartphone, and then proceeded to share this information with unauthorized recipients. Only a sharp-eyed female officer who refused to be brow-beaten by the imposter and insisted on verifying his credentials, brought to his immediate arrest.
It turns out that he is a well-known personality in Israel, “connected,” as they say, as are the individuals who received the top secret information from him. So he was quickly shuffled off to a psychiatric prison to allow for an attempt to bury the issue and avoid the widespread embarrassment that was inevitable, if not to avoid felony charges against him and the recipients.
What was the damage done by this piece of excrement? What we have been allowed to know, probably because it is so easily deductible, was that all of the raids and activities planned that he got wind of had to be cancelled. That’s what we know, and even that is enough. Hostages could have been rescued.
The court-order against releasing details of the fiasco has become a joke of late. Who believes that any information revealed could harm the war effort? It is obviously an attempt at a high-level coverup, and it might work, because more than Israeli citizens want to know the truth, there is an overwhelming sense that whatever that truth is, it will be so dismal and depressing that it might be best to leave things be until we finish the war with Lebanon and Iran. How’s that for a conundrum?
Who was he working for? How was it that when the entire defense apparatus was discombobulated he made a beeline to the most sensitive locations, not to assist in the belated attempts to roll back the terrorist tide, but to gather intelligence and quickly distribute it to unauthorized recipients? He knew where to go, and he knew what he was looking for. It seems that his efforts were an attempt to cover up something else. Like I said, dismal and depressing.
Who is he and who was he working for?

Here is a dissenting view as pertains the spy, while at the same time in an overall sense much bleaker:
This is the first I’ve heard of this ! It isn’t widely known in The USA..
As always, one of the unique features of Israel is that it is almost impossible to hide something from society and it is very easy to confuse this society so that it does not pay attention to what one would like to hide.
About a month after the events, I already heard several versions, ranging from an ordinary adventurer who wanted to help the army, which could not cope with the situation, to a malicious spy collecting information.
Any version is possible, none can be trusted. Until we know more.
A lot depends on who is involved in this case, and the special danger is not the spy himself (he is neutralized), but the political games that can be played out around this case.
This could also be a war of the legal system against the state, which is becoming more and more obvious and a simple violation can be used as a scapegoat to hide the mistakes of the legal system.
We have seen the legal system attack the army in the case of the Sde Tayman scandal (the case is falling apart, there is still no evidence), an attack on the government in the case of forcing the Minister of Justice to carry out appointments.
So I look forward to your new updates.
