Thanks for the info Purkiss. It is interesting data to consider. Please post more if you find it!
While I completely agree that there is no way Israel didn't know what was going on (and in fact supposedly Egyptian Intelligence also warned them beforehand), we need to be careful with stories like these.
This guy may really have been Israeli intelligence, but he said that was 25 years ago. Think about how much things have changed since then. I mean - we were still worried that y2k was gonna crash everything back then.
My thoughts as to why this particular guy would know nothing about modern security pertain to this quote from the article:
A cat moving alongside the fence is triggering all forces. So this??
Back when he served there would have likely been line-of-sight microwave sensors protecting the fence area (not the fence). If someone broke the microwave field they would be seen and soldiers would intervene.
If they had modern fence technology his quote would likely have been more like:
*A rabbit running through the chain-link would have triggered an alarm.
Note - My dogs chase rabbits in my yard through the fence all the time, and every once in a while a rabbit gets "stuck". Lol.
Years later the technology has grown by leaps and bounds, including actual fence protection to where someone climbing or cutting the fence (or even vibrations) will be immediately noticed, the control console will light up in red the exact fence panel where there is an issue, and cameras will immediately be directed to that exact spot. You can even import a Google Map satellite view or high-quality pictures of your perimeter onto the console to make identification idiot-proof. There are also buried cable systems and of course microwaves that all work together. Here is one I've worked with in the past (as recently as 2017) while protecting US nuclear plants. Notice there are cooling towers in a few of the pictures - these fence systems are popular.
Again - I buy what he is selling, but I think he is guessing just as much as we are. 25 years is a LONG time in the tech world. His info is dated. I take it as interesting and plausible, but not a confirmation unless we get more current "whistleblowers". The 24/48/72 hour rule was made for stuff like this.
