The fact that this profesionalliers say that not every 16 year old is a treat to Israel is indignant! It is not "just" a poor 16 year old kid, we are talking about a young assassin throwing Molotov cocktails to Jews! Somebody is supposed to tell YNET and others that this language is unacceptable, an assasin is an assasin, be him 16, 14 or 140!

Even if they were not throwing moldov cocktails the IDF has every right to shoot to kill rock throwers. A baby boy was killed by a rock, they are deadly.

((soldiers spotted three Palestinians holding Molotov cocktail The force carried out the "suspect detention procedure)) IDF is challenged to tell how to make differentiation between inactive Molotov and stone. Smoke detectors may not function in the Open! Then, the IDF's detention procedure is actually detention policy.

2 main points on this article: 1. they say that this "boy" was a 16 year old. If he was 2 years older this would not even be a discussion. Should IDF troops go up to these people and ask for ID before retaliating against these acts 2. Regardless of if this was stones or molotov cocktails, why do they continue to try and strike troops? only this past week a man in Akko was struck in the eye by a rock and may lose his eyesight. Should IDF troops just stand around and risk injuryies just because there are not being shot at or hit by ammunition? Bottom Line: stop throwing rocks, hurling molotov cocktails, and throwing acid and you wont get shot. Maybe you should go to school instead or spend your time doing more constructive things. But then again the media wont have these outrageous stories to print if this would happen

Every year some lebanese throw rocks at israeli soldiers on the northern borders with lebanon at Fatima Gate..this happens every year..so why dont the soldiers shoot and kill them??? everybody knows why...

1. A liquid-filled bottle with a rag sticking out of it is rather distinctive. Very distinctive, in fact. 2. A molotov cocktail is a lethal weapon, and a "hot" one rather than a "cold" one. That means a molotov is in the same category as explosives and guns, rather than rocks, slingshots, knives, and so on. "hot" lethal weapons are treated as a far greater potential risk than "cold" ones. 3. Suspect Detention Procedure involves hailing the suspect to hold and drop lethal objects, eventual warning shot in the air should the first phase be ignored, shot toward the legs to incapacitate rather than kill *if* the warning shot was useless and there's still a chance that the suspect's intentions are not *immediately* hostile, and a shot to center of mass if the suspect is a direct and present threat. 4. Last, but not least, who told you that the molotovs were inactive? I'd assume the exact opposite, from the article. History of incendiary bombings in the area, three youths caught in the act of throwing them toward cars, and the inability of the Palestinian officials to believe in any way that a Palestinian was at *real* blame here.

TERRORIST shot & killed while throwing Molotov Cocktail, yet der Sturmer, yNet slaps a headline stating that the "IDF kills Palestinian youth". This is a true statement, yet misleading; "Youth is intended to depict BAD Israelis shooting Innocent arabs. Fact is, Terrorist kllled while BOMBING Israelis - nothing to cry over. der ynet RULES!

The PA is excellent at playing the propaganda game in defense of it's child killers. This time, no propaganda will bring that kid back to life. He paid the piper for his actions and those of thousands of others who walked away scott free. The shame belongs to the leadership of the PA who continue to use their children to be the ones who act in their name.

are you more credible than the IDf reporting the incidence in its own words? The article spoke only about "The troops were operating in the area in light of multiple incidents which included the hurling of incendiary bombs in the Beit El area." where did you get the word throwing Molotov, at the time of shooting, from?

believe me i was there throwing cakes and sweets at the idf israil and they just shoot at us no respec no faffink

Man! Are you really meaning what you are writing? Do you believe that "innocent boys" go around "innocently" carrying Molotov Cocktails???? When you carry a gun it's to use it, and Molotov Cocktails are arms, please! Respect the intelligence of other readers!!!

the title makes it seem as though an IDF soldier decided to go out and shoot at palestinian teenagers for fun. wait a minute....i just saw who wrote the article. a gentleman named ali waked. enough said.

no justification to use deadly fire from professional soldier against unarmed children .To all philosophic morons justifying this action ,have you ever heard an Israeli soldier being killed by a molotove coctail or a stone !!!.

Why the Headline, IDF kills Arab youth" or something like that. Why not tell the truth and say "IDF kills Arab gasolene bomb thrower".???

my 3 years old cousin in that area was hit by the fire in the molotov bottle that a palestinian arab young man threw at our car while i drove him to his friend's house. my cousin sustained severe burns on his face and the car caught on fire during 2005 in february. so, please do not tell us israelis that arab youth do not make it dangerous when they throw these fire bombs and bottles. even stones have been known to hurt or damage an israeli child and mother on the streets over there. most of these thugs throw these bottles all the time aiming them into the windows of passing cars and run away. i am glad that the army is protecting us, yes, even against young palestinian kids who comit acts of violence. please arabs. stop excusing your kids behavior and start teaching them to be law abiding citizens. maybe this kind of rioting is ok in islamabad or most arab countries, but we in israel are civilized society and you don't see our young children throwing molotov bottles towards children in arab areas.

if you look at the picture of the "youth" throwing a molotov coctail burning bottle in the top of this article, you would see what really happened. this is not the first incidence here and you know it! people and babies have been killed by such hot burning bombs. just take a look at that picture and stop splitting hairs. it shows poor intelligence and an inability to face real circumstances as they happen daily on the ground.

look at the picture of this news article and it answers you own question.

How long has been going on,? This is an outrage that someone would take up for this young man tring to kill people!

From the time these kids are old enough to open their eyes they are taught that killing Jews is a good thing. How do you tell the difference between a firebomb and a rock, I guess this is just another case of blind justice! These Ismalite ssay that aremed resistance is justified but then turn around when one of their own is killed trying to kill Jews and call that unjustified? Oh, Observer, please have your vision checked.

so don't expect him to ever say anything against the pals..

There is no hope for the Jewish state surviving in the nastiest neighborhood in the world if it presents itself as inwardly irresolute and unwilling to engage in war. The Arab adversary should always be fully aware that Israel is resolute, steadfast and more ready to wage war than agree to a fraudulent peace. If the Arab and Muslim world rejects Israel, it must live with the consequences of its enmity and become the ultimate loser. A Jewish state, which no longer seeks to make peace at any price will prosper and grow. It will also engender respect from both its friends and its enemies.

"An army spokesman said the youth was hurling Molotov cocktails."

stoning/lapidation is an ancient middle eastern tradition.

the incident has taken place shortly after IDF admitting that the youth killed yesterday was hurling stones not Molotov. Pleas!, don't jump to the conclusion till the IDF admits that the youth was only throwing curses.

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3609283,00.html The articles' mention of previous events remains unchanged - the army still states that the youth used a molotov cocktail. So, what exactly are you talking about?

everything . He changes black into white , without being ashamed .
