long article but important bit at the end. the article
said: The soldiers, all members of a combat engineering
unit, were in an armored carrier that was hit by an
explosion that detonated engineering materials being
carried on the vehicle, apparently in contravention of
standard practice, Hagari said. engineering materials i
assume were explosives to detonate a building. that is
a no-no in combat. they screwed up.

excerpt
"In the weeks leading up to Oct. 7, Israel moved troops from its border with
Gaza to bolster security for settlers, carrying out a wave of expansions and
attacks on Palestinian communities in the occupied West Bank. Told by
Netanyahu since 2009 that they could ignore decades of occupation,
maintained indefinitely through a carefully crafted and executed strategy of
divide and rule, Israelis watched as the walls that were supposed to protect
them crumbled in a single bloody morning. Facing demands for answers
alongside widespread calls for vengeance, Netanyahu launched an
unprecedented and indiscriminate war.
Several investigative reports, including by the New York Times, have
documented in the months since the attack that in May 2022, Israeli military
intelligence was already in possession of Hamas’ detailed plan for a
multipronged infiltration operation. While the timing of the attack was not
known, the likelihood it would actually be carried out was dismissed as low.
Codenamed “Jericho Wall,” the 40-page military document was a detailed
blueprint of Hamas’s plans for a massive assault that aimed to overcome
Israel’s fortifications and storm military posts and Israeli communities around
Gaza. Israeli intelligence knew of Hamas’ intentions of pouring its fighters en
masse into Israeli territory. They had details of how it would use motorbikes,
cars, paragliders and fighters on foot under the cover of thousands of
rockets fired into Israel. They even understood its intentions to use
explosive-dropping drones, anti-tank missiles, and IEDs to take out Israel’s
elaborate surveillance systems, communication networks and the automated
machine guns mounted on Israel’s numerous fortified watchtowers. In short,
they knew in detail of Hamas’ plans to overrun the high tech wall of concrete
and firepower sealing Gaza in. On Oct. 7, the attack that Hamas—the
Palestinian Islamic nationalist organization that has run Gaza since 2007 and
fought six wars with Israel—codenamed “Al Aqsa Flood,” was a near carbon
copy of the plans detailed in “Jericho Wall"
