As odd as it may seem, Old Joe and the Israeli Army teamed up for a very effective take-down team. Joe played his part very convincingly and made the public statement, as if a threat, to keep the army out of Raffa.

And so it was that one of the instigators of Oct. 7 felt safe when he took refuge there. Little did he know that all Old Joe did was to reduce the search area.

Actually, truth be told, it was unlikely Joe realized it either. I’m not so sure if Old Joe realizes now.
