Always difficult to know what is really going on, because of propaganda and fog of war. It seems the attack started around 6 am but airforce planes did not get involved until noon and helicopters, best able to counterattack, until 6 pm. Maybe this info will turn out to not be correct, but do you know more and what to make of it if true? Likewise what about the report that Egyptian authorities warned Israel that something big was coming? Or that anyone who comes close to the border is shot right away. Some 18 hundreds times just in 2018 for instance, why not this time?

Most wars start with false flag operations. I think Scott Ritter's interpretation is naive. The war managers just made it look that way, as an excuse for letting alleged enemies in.

Psychological operations go deeper than people realize. I have experience in NATO scripted exercises. I think those are in essence psychological operations. Deception is everywhere.
