This is what the IDF soldiers are dealing with in Gaza:
Lt.-Col. Cohen has good reasons to want his soldiers to focus on the enemy. In one of the recent days a battalion force encountered three terrorists emerging from a tunnel.
“We responded immediately and caused the tunnel to collapse over them,” he says. “No one was injured from the sniper fire. There was also a suicide bomber on a motorcycle, who disappeared into a house’s backyard. We encircled the house and hit him from afar.”
The IDF is doing well in every matchup with Hamas. Hamas wants to kill Israeli soldiers from afar, as they claim Israel is doing to them. And yet, there is video of close fighting at Elder of Ziyon’s blog that must be seen to be believed. Proof positive that the IDF is using human shields. Think Amnesty will get them on this one? (Really. Click the link. You’ll be glad you did.)
Hamas’ Iranian-trained fighters are no match for the IDF. That’s why they want to lure the IDF into the thicket of the inner city, where they think they have all the advantage. They do have some advantages, but not all.
Cohen has no hesitations in regards to the significant force used, the outcomes of which are seen on the ruined Palestinian homes on the sides of the roads.
“We saw house bombs here, houses booby-trapped from the inside or houses where the gas pipe was left open and all openings were sealed so that they blow up on us as we enter,” he explains. “Those who booby-trap houses should not be surprised when we detonate them from afar in order to protect our soldiers’ lives.”
As he stands on the balcony of a house, Cohen points south. “We saw them launching rockets and mortar shells from inside. When we entered the school itself, we found a weapons storeroom there. We let the civilians leave and made sure that no one hurts them.”
And Hamas is calling children to protect them from the IDF. The brave, brave mujahadeen of Hamas need children to protect them.
Despicable.
“And Hamas is calling children to protect them from the IDF. The brave, brave mujahadeen of Hamas need children to protect them.”
Have they run ot of women? Remember the two heroes of the jihad who were cornered in a mosque? The Israelis did not assualt so as not to damage the mosque. The heroes inside it called women on cell phones to come screen them when they made their escape. A mob of women did, and the Israeli soldiers let tham go rather than hurt women.
Behold the brave Arab Jihadists.
“Proof positive that the IDF is using human shields.”
I think you mean Hamas is using human shields…
