Going dark isn't really a new thing though? That's how Bin Laden stayed hidden for some long. They communicated by "the old ways" . The part I don't understand is why they don't have a few thousand hard core army members ready to go at a moment's notice situated somewhere central to the west bank and to Gaza and can logistically be anywhere along those borders within an hour or so. It took several hours for them to get to the area and the terrorists/murderers were long gone.

My theory is that such a group within their military and police exists, but they weren’t notified in time, and mostly learnt about it from internet rather than their official response channels. Good old negligence.
