Something seemed odd about the Iranian drone attack on the dining hall of the IDF basic training base, Camp 80, on October 13 that killed 4 IDF trainees.
How did they know exactly which part of which building in the sprawling camp to target and at exactly what time? They put the drone directly above the corner of the hall where the tables were laid out at exactly the time when dinner was served. How did they get that inside information?
Now we know... a trainee who had gone AWOL was one of the 7 members of a new immigrant family from Azerbaijan who were taking money to spy for Iran.

The fact that the picture from inside the base leaked didn't seem surprising, as we are talking about a base full of new recruits, in their first months, aged 18-19, without any experience or much discipline. It is also not an "elite" base, and there were lots of medics arriving to deal with the 50+ injuries.
I should clarify:
My words above, "Now we know...", are too emphatic. I should have couched it, "now we might have a clue..."
We don't know. But we do have a plausible explanation, where before we did not. Ynet seem to have made the same inference.
