It looks like the IDF was trying to cover this stuff up, but the police investigation is forcing some stuff out into the open anyway.

        I did not find any mention of the it being rescheduled or moved in that article. This is all it has on the location and scheduling.

        Gaster arrived on site at the festival event at approximately 5:30 a.m. on Saturday, with the party — which had started the night prior — meant to go until approximately 5 p.m. Saturday evening. An offshoot of the Paralello Universo festival brand started in Brazil nearly 20 years ago; the Israel event was called Supernova Sukkot Gathering after the Jewish holiday and was hosting several thousand attendees in a rural location near the Gaza Strip, with a lineup focused on the electronic psytrance genre.

        Everything else is just a hero tale for Gaster.

      They could have not known about it being extended since it was originally to end on that Friday with the operation starting Saturday.

        I guess

        Hamas had enough intel and planning to breach Israel's border defences but because they didn't spend a few hundred dollars on a psytrance festival ticket they missed the extension intel lol

        what irony

          Tbf I don't think they especially cared either way, and were more interested in IDF activity instead

            I feel like knowing the concentration of people in the area where an operation will take place is really crucial info

            Affects sightlines, bullet lines, paths, etc.
