The real lesson on this is that it was thought that Israel was good to go, ready for this kind of thing, accustomed to violence and ready for it. They weren't.
That's 99% of American "preppers."
They think just "having" a rifle they rarely ever shoot and an "ammo fort" is enough.
They think just maybe occasionally carrying a CCW is enough, it's the "magic wand" that will somehow keep them out of trouble, get them out of trouble immediately and they certainly will never have to get their hands dirty in the process.
We all need to train more. We all need more PT. If you carry regularly- hell even if you don't- you need some combatives training. Most people are floored when they see how easy it is to take a weapon from someone, sometimes even at those couple yards distances everyone supposedly maintains from everyone else in the world while going around constantly in 'condition red' and all that similar BS people spout to avoid combatives training.
When was the last time you were slammed to the ground? Punched in the face? Do you know how to land properly to avoid some injury? When was the last time you practicing drawing under pressure and at bad breath range from someone? Have you ever ran 100 yards, stopped shot some targets at 100 yards, range another 100 shot again etc. and done that for a quarter mile?
Here is where the classic prepper "porch sniper" fantasy comes in. Where the discussion gets difficult because people aren't willing to put in the work. Then it becomes the excuses and the "I'll wait for them to come to my house" (leaving you little options for movement) and then "snipe them from my porch."
Be careful of rationalizing and how people use that to avoid putting in the work.
"But I'm older and.."
About 10 years back I remember running around the mountains at a team FOF exercise with some guys that were a little older than me. One talked about how he was "celebrating his 70th birthday" that weekend. Another graybeard chimed in- "I turned 72 a few weeks ago." Hell I was the "baby" of that team still in my 40's at the time... These guys didn't move super fast, but they moved. They moved well for that age, carrying gear, fighting up hill.
I regularly do combatives with several guys in their late 50's as well. They learn to hang with the early 20's fresh out of the Marines types. They learn to conserve energy and move efficiently. One of them did the Murph challenge with a group of us recently and did well.
In the Old Testament, Caleb, one of the two spies that brought a good report back (read: wasn't one of the cry babies that said "it's too hard we can't take the land") after all the wars were over went off to the mountains to fight giants. He was 80 years old.
That's what you want to strive for, to be "Strong like Caleb."
Next prepper rationalizing point-
"Grandpappy taught me to shoot when I was 15, I don't need no training!"
I see the woke up version after every class, I hear them speak about that in the AAR how they thought they "knew how to shoot" and how they thought that was enough. They arrive to class with pride, a rifle that appears so new I'm looking for a sale price tag to still be hanging on it, the rifle is un lubed, mags may not even fit in them. Or at the least they have stuffed 31 rounds in the 30 round magazine then they have vapor lock for 2 minutes wondering why the mag won't lock in the rifle...
BUT they get out there and learn - it's that whole "you don't know what you don't know" type of thing. They may have been the quintessential bench shooter and now they are learning to shoot while moving, manage multiple threats, transition to pistol, shoot with the opposite hand, use cover properly, shoot out to distances, etc.
The hardest part for most of them is realizing they don't know and need to train. That's the pride part that gets in the way. Be pretty frickin stupid to die over that one day...
