1. heroes
Howard ,   Pacific Coast, USA   (11.22.05)
All of these IDF soldiers are heroes. All of them risk their lives daily to protect all of the citizens of the State of Israel. All deserve thanks. Congratulations to the newly recruited Mr. Markovitz, whose skill probably saved the lives of several of his fellow soldiers, as well as the lives of Israeli civilians in the area. Many, many Israeli soldiers deserve praise and thanks for their daily efforts to preserve the safety of the Israeli civilians who shelter behind them. To all of you -- thank you and may G-d watch over you always.

Taking the lead in the nation's defence.

A special Yashar Koach to "Officer" Markovitz - may you go from "Strength to Strength"! May G-d AlMighty continue to bless and guard you and all of Tzahal, with great success in all your missions.

gentle reader ,   Israel   (11.22.05)
To all of our boys in all the branches IDF thank you! To Mr. Markovitz -- Kol HaKavod. (p.s. I heard your mom on the radio -- it is clear that you are very blessed with a good and supportive family -- may you go from strength to strength) To the injured a speedy recovery.
8. Hedser Yeshiva comes through
tovia ,   jeruslalem   (11.22.05)
I think the IDF will think twice now before dismantling Hedser Yeshiva programs.
9. Yeah, baby!!
Michael Steiner ,   Praha, EU   (11.22.05)
That's the way to do it: obliterate terrorist scum! Kol hakavod, David!
10. Wonderful! Thank you IDF! Thank you G-D!
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (11.22.05)
Excellent, David! The IDF are magnificent at doing what they were created for: protecting Jews and Israel. The IDF is on the frontlines in the Third World War of global jihad. The IDF is protecting Israel AND the nations! Thank you IDF!
11. Kol Ha Kavod!
Robert Goldman ,   cooper city Florida   (11.22.05)
Having served more then 10 in the IDF once again the pride of service and training paid off!! Anyone who has served knows the pride of service! thoose that have never served should have !
12. Israel should not have needed marksman
Lemar ,   UK   (11.22.05)
Israel should not depend on marksmen but should have means to prevent terrorists getting anywhere near their base. What about another 'Wall'.
13. Brave
.. ,   prs   (11.22.05)
guy!
14. #6
Christopher ,   Boston MASS USA   (11.22.05)
Seems the only fools are the 4 dead Muslim terrorists. The US military should send their officers to spend time with the IDF and learn a lesson they don't seem to be learning.
15. Great work!
Ester ,   Israel   (11.22.05)
hopefully we will hear only good news...
16. #6
Arie   (11.22.05)
Eat your heart out asshole !
17. Great Work
Mordy   (11.22.05)
Mazal Tov! May Tzahal go from strength to strength!
18. Gun control
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (11.22.05)
The soldier showed great gun control. Yashar koach!
19. Hesder
Johnny ,   Jerusalem   (11.22.05)
Hesder soldier? But General Stern wants to shut Hesder down. What a loss to the IDF that would be.
20. BLESS THE SOLIDERS
DEBRA ,   MARYLAND, USA   (11.22.05)
MAY THE LORD OUR GOD, THE GOD OF ISRAEL, WATCH OVER THEM AS THEY BRAVELY DEFEND ISRAEL.
21. change
doron Cohen ,   neve Tsuf   (11.22.05)
Isn't it good to see an excellent soldier doing his job and NOT charged with using excessive force. If he did this in YESHA , he would be in gaol
22. Thoughs on battle:
RIck H ,   Baltimore, USA   (11.22.05)
Calm, clear headed and icey cool. Takes more that good aim to be that effective. Shooter has to be icey. That can be from two things: either they have no adrenalin or the shooter can channel it to fight and not flight. This guy is one "cool hand." Basicly it is a talent on loan from G-D. Personally, enemy fire turned me into a basket case.
23. The high quality of the Israeli soldier
Mark ,   Brussels, Belgium   (11.22.05)
Congratulations to the brave soldiers of the IDF. The IDF is still the best ground army in the world.
24. Proud to have a family like David
Alex Tsigutkin ,   New York, USA   (11.22.05)
David, we all very proud of having you as a part of our family. You set a good example to our future generations. G-d bless you and keep you safe.
25. David Markovitz
Claudia ,   Eilat   (11.22.05)
It would perhaps be wise to not mention where this young man lives...
26. #6 If we could add jackasses
Ilan ,   Ariel   (11.22.05)
Then you'd be signed on too
27. horses
yochanan ,   chicago, USA   (11.22.05)
it is clear what end of the horse you are.
28. Waiting For Halutz & Stern's Mea Culpa
Adina kutnicki ,   NJ   (11.22.05)
Will all the parasites who malign the hesder students repent now, and APLOGIZE for their specious attacks on the best of the best in the IDF? Will Halutz and his(religious) sidekick Stern issue a public apology after they kept threatening to dismantle hesder? Are Jews not their own worst enemies that they would even consider such a self destructive move?
29. How did the terrorists get through the fence
AK   (11.22.05)
I thing I read someplace that the fence has sensors, yet those terrorists got through with jeeps and motocycles. How tall is the fence and are there mine fields? The report says that the incident happened NEAR and not AT the border crossing.
30. I'm surprised they didn't charge him with murder.
