but in Israel.
Via Times of Israel,
IDF Staff Sergeant Netanel Moshiashvili was killed early Friday morning in a gunfight with a Palestinian infiltrator near the Israel-Gaza border. The terrorist group Islamic Jihad first confirmed its connection to the incident, but later denied it.
The gunman had penetrated into Israeli territory by cutting through the border fence under cover of fog at approximately 4 A.M.
A Golani unit rushed to the area, near the Kissufim border crossing. An exchange of fire ensued during which the Palestinian was killed and Staff Sergeant Moshiashvili mortally wounded. Army medics were unable to stabilize the soldier’s condition and he died soon afterward.

The terrorist who infiltrated Israel and killed Staff Sgt. Netanel Moshiashvili on Friday may have been equipped with sophisticated personal camouflage equipment capable of foiling IDF surveillance, Channel 10 reported Friday evening.
The IDF’s Southern Command launched an investigation into the incident in which Ahmed Abu Nasser, an apparent lone wolf attacker, penetrated the border fence and shot a Golani soldier before being killed.

“The terrorist…may have been equipped with sophisticated personal camouflage equipment capable of foiling IDF surveillance.”
Hmmm, where does a Palestinian (or anyone for that matter) get something like that?
The gear is obviously some of the next-generation combat clothing that helps defeat infrared surveillance. The terrorist’s set comes from Russia or China and is based on technology stolen from…. the US.
That is too big a jump. The base facts are not in & it is still conjecture.
The IDF are not immune from lapses. The PLO /Hamas have not demonstrated previous acumen (that we are aware of ).
Israel’s best defence is that their enemies are still stupid.
Can you imagine what would happen if you took some of that “bath salts” drug and handed it out to some horny (for afterlife virgins) Islamic terrorists along with camouflage equipment capable of foiling IDF surveillance?
A face-eating zombie apocalypse?
No.
Probably thousands of families ending up like the Fogel family.
Who am I kidding?
The afterlife virgins are the “bath salts” drug. No need for mind-altering illicit substances when you’ve got an ideology that does the trick.
Bless and rest the valiant, vigilant soul of Sgt. Moshiashvili who stood in the breach and said, NO!
Amen. Raising my glass with one hand as I type with the other.
Maudlin, some may say. But, still…the pipes are eloquent.

This type of music touches the soul in a way that joy cannot.
Thank you, I’ve never heard that one before. I’d like to say it’s lovely but haunting is probably a better word.
Is Obama giving US military equipment to the Iranians, Russians, and Chinese to give to the Arabs in Gaza, Judea, and Samaria? Like he gave the Iranians a drone, I mean.
How would he do that? Yes I know the drone landed somehow but I find it hard to believe that Obama is sitting there monitoring every spy drone /satellite.
If The USSR military in its death days could keep all is nukes & weapons from spilling out then I trust the US military to keep their core weapon technology safe.
I doubt they are giving anetta the keys either.
I must have missed Obama’s very aggressive efforts to reclaim our drone from Iran.
Eh, what’s that you say? Obama expended no care or effort to get the drone back? Nothing went in to destroy it, you say? Oh, so I didn’t miss anything cuz Obama did nothing to get the drone back.
Ergo, Obama gave Iran, Russia, and China our drone…. Unless you know something we all don’t.
.
There must be many spy drones out there at any one time. I find it hard to believe the POTUS must sign off on every malfunction /awry flight.
You know, this is a superb board. Wm is doing the job the LSM refuses to do and publishing all the news the LSM say is not fit to air.

Of course there were no headlines or any reporting. He was just a Jew doing his job, protecting innocent women and children. He wasn’t a muslim terrorist who killed innocent women and children.
