Ret. Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman said it's "shocking" to see Israel blindsided by Hamas' surprise attacks.
  • It's "shocking" that Israel seemed to miss signs of Hamas' attacks, Ret. Lt. Col Alexander Vindman said.
  • Vindman said such an attack would have needed extensive preparations in Gaza.
  • "All of that was missed," he told MSNBC on Sunday.

Israeli intelligence appears to have missed the signs of the "enormous amount of preparation" required for Hamas' string of attacks at the Gaza Strip border, Ret. Lt Col. Alexander Vindman said.
