Three Israeli soldiers injured south of Bethlehem

So, it continues.

BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- Three Israeli soldiers were injured in a hit-and-run accident on Wednesday night near the al-Arrub refugee camp on the main Bethlehem-Hebron road.

A Ma'an reporter in the camp said that a car plowed into three soldiers standing on the road, injuring one seriously and the other two moderately.

I read it first on Ma'an, link: 3 Israeli soldiers injured in hit-and-run south of Bethlehem Maan News Agency

Video: ALERT! Seems as though to see it on Youtube you have to log in because it is considered GRAPHIC! However, it is on the Ma'am webstie as of this posting.



And this same event is reported on JP:

Three IDF soldiers were injured Wednesday night after a Palestinian vehicle slammed into them on Route 60 southwest of Bethlehem in an attempt to target the Israeli forces, the IDF spokesperson's office said.

A freight truck with Palestinian license plates hit the three IDF soldiers, wounding one seriously and two moderately in what he IDF said was a terror attack, making it the second such vehicular attack targeting Israelis on Wednesday.

This has got to stop. Please?


Aren't military targets legitimate resistance targets?



Does that include Da'esh soldier kids?


Don't know what you are talking about.

You make a distinction between military targets and non-military targets. For example, bombing of the King David, regardless of the loss of civilian life, is justified (and celebrated) as a hit on a military target against the British occupation. So, what is the difference?

The difference is the King David bombing was against an active military operation and the "infitada" car accidents are against innocent civilians and off-duty soldiers in their own territory. If the victims had been attacked in Gaza then it would have been a different story.


If they are soldiers - on or off duty - I don't see a difference in the target. It's still a military target. The King David was not in "their own territory" - it was in a fight against the British. The Palestinians regard their actions as against active military operations defined by occupation...if it's aimed at soldiers I'm not seeing a difference. It seems more to be a case of trying to legitimize it in some cases and delegitimize it in others.
 
The three soldiers hit were hit by accident, its suspected, so this case is a different issue.

Your question is irrelevant, furthermore. They don't try to distinguish. They call to run over whoever is JEWISH. the only one making any kind of difference between military or civilians, the only one who believes it's different, is the one with western thinking

Which by the way, are NOT the Palestinians.

The Kind David act was seen as act to be debated on for ages, because of that reason exactly.

Again, in a situation where they tell them "run over Jews" they don't care of those are civlians or not. So we are talking nonsesne, really.

Your question is irrelevant, furthermore. They don't try to distinguish. They call to run over whoever is JEWISH. the only one making any kind of difference between military or civilians, the only one who believes it's different, is the one with western thinking

Which by the way, are NOT the Palestinians.

I agree - it's irrelevant since we now know it was a vehicular accident.
 
The three soldiers in the OP were not at the train station - they were hit by a car while standing at the street corner.

When military are mixed in with civilians - then how do you distinquish a military from a non military target? :dunno:
Then how do you distinguish an ordinary Palestinian from a terrorist? Just sayin'.

Which still makes what you say problematic.
 
...Aren't military targets legitimate resistance targets?
Then you won't mind if the Israeli Air Force begins cooking-down the areas where these vermin dwell...

They already went after Hamas in Gaza civilian areas. I didn't blame them. They had to stop the rocket fire. I also don't blame the Palestinians if they go after military.

Why?

If they go after military targets, I don't see how it is not legit targets. There is a difference between civilians and military right?
 
Except they don't. They go after whoever they find

In most cases I agree. But I think some likely target military. Don't a lot of suicide bombers target soldiers in outposts?

Let me give you this question then

Days ago, a terrorist named Abdul Rahman ran over a group of people in Jerusalem, killing 3 months old Jewish infant, and a young student.

Say among the injured or casualties, add to the 2, was a soldier, does it make it a military target?

No. It would not.

But if say, the vehicular accident was a deliberate effort to hit and run over 3 soldiers that would make it a military target wouldn't it?

In most cases I agree. But I think some likely target military. Don't a lot of suicide bombers target soldiers in outposts?

Tell me you what took place more. Suicide bombings on buses, markets and shopping malls, or suicide bombings among soldiers?

I agree they target civilians far in excess of military.

Were the soldiers in uniform or in mufti?

Legitimate targeting is about a Rule of War (Customary IHL). So, yes --- if you consider it a "State of War," then it is "legit."

If, it is an "Occupation" then Article 68 of the GCIV applies. And it is (altogether) improper and punishable.

They wouldn't have identified them as three soldiers if they weren't in uniform would they?

Okay - you usually come up with the decisive point ;)

Not always but usually :)
