Many non-uniformed Israeli are packing heat as well which exacerbated the problem.

Also from article:

But with guns in the hands of so many and Israelis as tense as springs, many fear that they are more at risk of being harmed than saved.

Israel has hit the perfect mix of "scared" and "gun ownership" for a friendly-fire explosion.

But it's going to be written off as "Fog Of War, ah well 🤷 ".
