A mix of human and technological errors made it possible for a Lebanese man to successfully cross into Israel on Sunday despite all of the security measures in place, the IDF said Tuesday. In the army’s initial review, part of the blame was given to inclement weather, although this sort of weather is common for the season. The errors filtered down through both the intelligence reporting and collection mechanisms.

The incident was especially embarrassing because it was revealed publicly by Lebanese media after the man was back in Lebanon, and it was unclear whether the IDF would have otherwise even known of the breach.
