The IDF has released video proving that the blast that killed a Palestinian woman and her four children was due to a terrorist wearing explosives and hiding in civilian areas.
The cell members were spotted moving 400 meters (1,312 feet) away from the forces. At 8:13 am, an aircraft fired at two of the cell members, killing one of the terrorists wounding the other. The army continued to follow the injured terrorist, and about a minute later the aircraft fired another missile at him, identifying an accurate hit.
Footage released by the IDF on Friday shows that civilians standing several meters away from the terrorist were not hurt, as the missile used to target him was accurate. The location selected by the IDF to target the second terrorist is close to a grape orchard, where not every civilian can be seen, and about 3 meters (9.8 feet) away from the gate of the Palestinian family’s home.
Let me note here that the Palestinian spokesliars claimed that the terroris was “400 meters” away from the house.
Seven minutes after the second missile was fired, reports were received about civilians being hit, and several hours later it was reported that the family members were killed. According to estimates, weapons carried by the terrorist caused the heavy damage. The house’s gate is believed to have flown at the family members, who were at the time outside the house, inside the grape orchard.
A number of sub-blasts took place following the first explosion, as a result of the weapons carried by the terrorists, which were not directly caused by the missile explosion. As part of the inquiry, the IDF examined previous incident in which similar missiles were fired.
Utterly safe predictions: The AP will not lead with this. Reuters will not lead with this. CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, the BBC, AFP, and all other major media outlets will not lead with this vindication of the IDF. The fact that the terrorists are the cause of the deaths of the family will not matter. Israel’s detractors will once again claim that Israel shouldn’t be fighting terrorists so close to civilian areas, rather than pointing out that hiding among civilians is a war crime.
But that’s no surprise. The Quartet came out with a statement today that says Israel needs to stop expanding settlements, because that’s the real barrier to peace. Not terrorists with explosives trying to murder Israelis, and using civilians as cover. Not rockets being fired nearly every day from Gaza, but Israel’s response to that rocket fire.
There are some days when I feel more positive than others, but on most days, I know in every fiber of my being: The world does not like the Jews. Therefore, no matter what we do, we will always be in the wrong.
Yeah, well eff you, world. That’s one of the reasons I manage to keep on writing these posts every day. Because I know it isn’t we who are wrong.
“Palestine is not for Jews. An Israeli statesman tells an anecdote: The graffiti in Europe during the 1930s read ‘Jews, go to Palestine.’ The graffiti in Europe today says’Jews, out of Palestine.'”
What they mean, really, is: “Jews, out, altogether.”
All over the world, what unites people is that they don’t like Jews. I can think of an exception, however, a country where anti-Semitisim does exist but where, by and large, Jews are accepted and the society is fully open to them.
And one of my regrets is that when my grandparents were alive I did not thank them profusely for coming to that country rather than the alternatives.
