This is the best summary I could come up with:
In December 2021, Israel’s military said a high-tech upgrade to the barrier that had long surrounded the Gaza Strip would protect nearby Israeli residents from the threat of violence from militants.
The video details how Hamas fighters neutralized long-range cameras, sophisticated sensors and remote-control weapons — a tactic known inside the group as the “blinding plan” — to breach the high-tech fence.
By comparing the footage with maps, satellite imagery and other data, reporters pinpointed where the intrusions occurred — from the Erez crossing in the north to Kerem Shalom in the south.
Training videos showing militants attacking mock-ups of Israeli compounds had been posted to social media months earlier and were visible to all.
Videos posted to social media after the attack began showed that Hamas fighters had been training for months on the tactics it used to breach the fence.
