There are many reports in media that the women manning the surveillance cameras made multiple reports to superior officials notifying of weaknesses in the fence and alerting that the Hamas was up to something.
People at all levels explicitly chose to ignore the warnings and consistently assumed the Hamas isn't a major danger. That mentality came from the top.

While I wouldn't put it past Netanyahu to run a false flag operation... I think if he was hoping for it his purpose would have been a takeover of the government, not the destruction of Gaza.
He's one of the main proponents of the Hamas for the past 30 years. With this he looks like an incompetent idiot (which he is).
I think there's a chain of stupidity, bureaucracy and incompetents at fault. Reading reports in the papers over the past week it's astounding how many things went wrong. The head of the Shabak (internal security division) was on base checking notifications the day before. They had a conference call to alert the army so they would be prepared for "something", but they didn't loop in the airforce. If they had then some early air support might have changed the picture completely.
head of shabak was called in closer to midnight and they were at meetings through entire night when entire mess started. shabak forces (whatever it is) were one of the first to respond
