Practically the complete IDF was in the West Bank at that time, when you have minimal staffing at a military base you really don't want to leave it but hunker down as it getting captured would be even worse.
I'd say that's a reasonable assessment. That Netanyahu and his goons are as competent, however, is a much more tenuous claim, or they wouldn't have sent the IDF o the West Bank (to back up settlers harassing (and worse) Palestinians).
anyone have sources or more info on this? to what extent is this true?
