This would be the first suicide bomb in the current wave of attacks. Israel has killed previous bombmakers, and after hat it ceased. It is not easy at all to construct a suicide belt. It either explodes prematurely, or doesn't detonate at all. Theys have to be bought from outside terrorist groups like ISIS, and ISIS at the moment does not seem dsposed to take on Israel. Also, if the terrorist did have a suicide belt, first attacking with a knife would be a bad way to proceed. He could get killed. The jacket could more likely have been to hide the knife. <br /><br />The IDF did indeed give its soldiers instructions not to get too close to a downed terrorist on the grounds he might be wearing a suicide belt, but this was general instructions done to guard against what was a very slim possibility at that time. <br /><br />This was not taken so far as to mandate any terrorist be killed because he might be wearing a suicide belt. The logic of what the soldier did would call for that. Such a policy, among other things, is actually more dangerous than allowing a terrorist to give up. The news would spread if no surrenders were being accepted.<br /><br />In a way, the orders were contradictory. But it amounted to a declaration that while a risk would be taken in accepting a surrender or in capturing a terrorist, the risk should not be any bigger than it had to be, and having any unnecessary personnel too close was a risk that should not be taken, because nothing was obtained for that risk.Sammy Finkelmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05105012664741556033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-82282920345362490842016-04-25T06:31:42.471+03:002016-04-25T06:31:42.471+03:00Sad, but there are still some very good Jews in th...Sad, but there are still some very good Jews in the IDF doing their best and Gd willing...Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-10326101181076259962016-04-25T06:06:49.580+03:002016-04-25T06:06:49.580+03:00Believe the upper echelons of the IDF have left th...Believe the upper echelons of the IDF have left the Jewish people and no longer considers itself as a Jewish army.

It is hard to say' <br /><br />NO, NOT REALLY, IT'S VERY EASY TO SAY.<br /><br />'As for the US, the IDF embraces strategic dependency on the US'<br /><br />WELL THAT IS WHAT GOOD,OBEDIENT SLAVES ALWAYS DO, THEY OBEY THEIR MASTERS. <br />And to hell with the people and the country, they know best ... blinded by their arrogance. <br /><br />This reminded me of the old Hebrew National hot dog TV commercial; 'We answer to a higher authority', their pimp gods in Washington. <br /><br />The rule of these godless, faithless, grasshopper Jews has reached the end of it's course. They are incapable of going any further.<br />Obedience to the globalist anti-Israel agenda of the US, UN, EU is their raison d'etre. <br /><br />Time to dump the losers.<br /><br />Israel is going to need new leadership with the same vision of it's early leaders, Joshua and Calev. They knew Who was in charge without any question or any doubt. <br /><br />Marcel Cousineauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06073839469766772568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-57868391575130381532016-04-23T23:03:40.665+03:002016-04-23T23:03:40.665+03:00Excellent article.

Maybe the ordinary Israeli will understand why the Haredim are against the IDF as it is now - not against the protection, but the against corrupt ideology of its leaders.Neshamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06326762185596512130noreply@blogger.com
