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.
