IDF: DON’T BELIEVE HAMAS PROPAGANDA

T. Belman.  Remember Jenin. Remember the Mavi Marmara, Everything the press reports is coming from Hamas and is lies and propaganda. I totally believe only the IDF.  The fact that 10 of the 15 alledgedly killed were known terrorists shows a) that the protest wasn’t peaceful and b) that the IDF was not indescriminate in whom they shot at.

This “protest” is part of a larger war and must be defeated. In any event, it is extremely important that the IDF not let one person infiltrate into Israel. the IDF has the right to kill people who violate our sovereignty.

Naftali Bennett said,‘Imagine the march of return along Israel’s main highway’ – He called on supporters of the two-state solution to imagine 30,000 Gazans protesting Israel’s existence along main highway.

A video of an incident near the border with the northern Gaza Strip on Friday appears to show an Israeli soldier shooting a young Palestinian close to Jabalya while he is running away from the security fence.

When asked about the video and if the young Palestinian was a threat, the IDF responded with the following statement:

“The Hamas terrorist organization has published several videos, some of which only depict parts of incidents while others are edited or completely fabricated.

“During yesterday’s violent riots and terrorist attacks, IDF troops faced gunshots, infiltration attempts, damage to security infrastructure, firebombs, rocks, and rolling burning tires. The IDF operated in strict accordance with the rules of engagement, firing only when necessary and avoiding civilians strategically placed by Hamas in harm’s way. IDF operational activity prevented the Hamas terrorist organization’s objective to harm security infrastructure and attempts to violate Israeli sovereignty.

“Don’t take Hamas’s propaganda as fact. The IDF will continue operating in order to ensure Israeli sovereignty is not breached and to protect Israeli civilians. The participants of the violent riots are situating themselves in a dangerous area, thus putting themselves in harm’s way,” the army said.

According to Ashraf al-Qidra, a spokesman for the Hamasrun Health Ministry, 15 Palestinians were killed while participating in the protest on Friday.

Later on Saturday, however, the IDF said that 10 of the 15 Palestinians who died, including Abed al-Nabi, were a part of armed groups in Gaza.
