and a message of non-violence. Or they were just going for a swim. Maybe they heard that a new restaurant opened in Tel-Aviv and they were on their way to dinner. Or they just wanted to visit relatives in Kfar Kana. Horrible Israelis. Let's have an international investigation as to why Israel didn't let them shoot some Israeli citizens.

The whole story is completely false. The fishery boat was 3 Kms from Al-zahra coast in the middle of gaza strip shore. Any nutral correspondent must come to gaza to tell the real story by confirming that the killed people were palestinian fishers. This killing in sea was not the first and may be not the last.

keep up the good work.

if weapons were being delivered freely into Hamastan. Israel, being the nation-state of the Jewish people, demands to maintain its right and the right of its citizens to exercise the very first of all human rights, the right to live and to protect one's life. "Human rights" organizations abroad, collaborating with Hamas and Turkey (the one responsible for the Armenian genocide of 1.5 millions, the Kurdish massacres of thousands, and the occupation of Cyprus and the expelling of its Greek residents from the north) attempt to take away that right away from the Jews and their nation-state of Israel.

Well heavy arms were good for diving, but those should have been also water-proof.

It just keeps churning them out. "Starship Trooper" again.

Yes, yes, as usual....Blood of the Palestinians is the price to raise the morale of "IDF" soldiers , this time Navy Soldiers :(

if we give them chance to live like all normal humans we will have the chance to survive " but by making enemy every where we have no chance to survive"

Yeah sure they were Pallie fishermen with wet suits on & weapons. The wet suits to keep them warm & weapons to kill the fish. LOL. Try as you may, your version wont hold.

For you it's a pity they didn't get to carry out their martyr mission.

First of all it was a firefight...that means that both sides had firearms. Secondly, how many divers go out "before dawn", with firearms, unless they are up to mischief? Perhaps they were going deep sea fishing with Kalashnikovs? Its a very safe bet that they were terrorists, as were those on the Marmaris, trying to commit an atrocity in Israel. Thirdly, with all this furor around the affair of the Marmaris it seems to be forgotten that 9 terrorists were killed and no Israeli soldiers...seems to me that when the smoke clears and the world goes back to its usual business of appeasing Iran, that there are nine terrorists less. I think Israel won that one.

each of them will get 72 mermaids!

When Arabs will put down their weapons, there will be no more war. When Israel will put down their weapons, there will be no more Israel.

As usual the IDF have acted swiftly and effectively, Hamas wants the IDF to have face offs so they can go wimpering to western goverments!!!!

lol who said palis r smart. much like the power station they r trying to shoot, that power station provides gaza with electricity, in other words they were trying to cut off their own electricity, so tragic, so ironic, and funny.

Said who? the local news station in Gaza? You live in your own little world there - you are fed what Hamas wants you to eat - and eat it up you do. Get a life man!

Don't mess with the IDF...we can see in the dark.

Well that could be the case, I'm sure they have more AK-47s than fishing poles in Gaza. And AKs will work in the water, so they could be fishermen. On the other hand they could be terrorists coming to Israel to cause as much chaos and death as possible.

On the sea - deep sea fishing with Kalashnikovs. Near the fence - bird watching with dynamite.

4 less islamic terrorists

Hey Salma, You made me laugh so much with your subject line. You guys have no souls !!!

Never ever bring paintball guns to a shootout. The COS and Naval Command should be fired ASAP...they are useless...Thank G-d the soldiers and sailors have more brains.

LOL ! sounds like a new Pallie sport !

This i'm sure of it, remains to know,what kind of soul are You?!!

My comment concerning the criminal killing of innocent people (No.2 in my tackback ) has been confirmed accidentally as i drove to Al-Aqsa hospital today to bring my child for treatment. There were a lot of people crowding infront of the chamber for keeping the dead. They were the four fishermen ,i spoke about them early. All of them have been shot dead in the head from a very near distant . There was no any sign of being divers of any kind. I participated in dressing one of the dead men his coffin. I was a witness for many hunreds of israeli prudent and cruel aggresive actions every where . They are pouring their hatred against all humanbeing over our heads in palestine and their lies have no end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

assaulting the beaches of Tel Aviv... good thing the IDF got them... must have been like shooting fish in a barrel.
