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.

We don't expect any less of our soldiers. What a hero!!

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.

only fools and horses can buy this crap story!

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.

I think the IDF will think twice now before dismantling Hedser Yeshiva programs.

That's the way to do it: obliterate terrorist scum! Kol hakavod, David!

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!

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 !

Israel should not depend on marksmen but should have means to prevent terrorists getting anywhere near their base. What about another 'Wall'.

guy!

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.

hopefully we will hear only good news...

Eat your heart out asshole !

Mazal Tov! May Tzahal go from strength to strength!

The soldier showed great gun control. Yashar koach!

Hesder soldier? But General Stern wants to shut Hesder down. What a loss to the IDF that would be.

MAY THE LORD OUR GOD, THE GOD OF ISRAEL, WATCH OVER THEM AS THEY BRAVELY DEFEND ISRAEL.

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

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.

Congratulations to the brave soldiers of the IDF. The IDF is still the best ground army in the world.

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.

It would perhaps be wise to not mention where this young man lives...

Then you'd be signed on too

it is clear what end of the horse you are.

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?

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.
