1. why were the vehicles not armored
isi   (01.28.15)
the idf must be stupid not to use armored vehicles with trophy systems. Yaalon-where the hell have you been. And lapid-you said the idf did not need extra funding-you arrogant shmuck. I Herzog says livni would be a good defence minister-really-want not give the golan to assad, you gave gaza the corridor??
2. Patrolling by drones might make sense.

3. expect IDF commanders to claim ...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (01.28.15)
responsibility for the unarmored vehicles
4. Collateral damage of Netanyahu's election campaign in Syria

5. Unarmored Vehicles
Gabriel ,   Toronto   (01.28.15)
Is the second time that soldiers are dying when traveling in open/unarmored vehicles in high risk area.
6. Non Sequitur - High Level Alert vs Unarmoured DMAX vehicle
(01.28.15)
Despite the high alert level in the north following the strike attributed to Israel earlier this month in Syria, the soldiers were travelling in an unarmored Isuzu DMAX vehicle when they were hit.
7. Yaalon must resign
Sad ,   USA   (01.28.15)
This is the second time our wonderful boys were killed because they were in unsafe vehicles. This is a total outrage. Nothing against Yaalon personally. But this is completely unacceptable.
8. We started....
Michael ,   Haifa   (01.28.15)
....this ping-pong match. Netanyahu will keep it going until the elections. It will keep the public's mind off the economic issues
9. gantz retiring
alexi   (01.28.15)
ts good that gantz is retiring. I would fire him on the spot. IN gaza he sent an unarmored personnel carrier. All know that hezbollah has guided missiles and rockets. In spite of this unarmored vehicles were used by idf troops. You dumb idiots-you act like olmert, halutz and peretz. You sent idf soldiers to battle protected as much as possible. For hezbollah and the north, it means remote vehicles and jeeps with trophy systems. I would fire gantz right now. And lapid cut funding for the idf throughout his term as finance minister, the incompetent that he is. And livni- she would call obama now and ask for help to which he would say handle it yourself you helpless baby. Half of israel is a bunch of helpless babies led foremost by the media. Herzog's solution would be to give the golan to nasrollah and hope he adhers to his signed agreement. YOU can now see why more jews did not flee in world war ll.
10. Unarmoured ,And we are ready for everything ?
Roland ,   london England   (01.28.15)
11. Seems IDF failed to learn from Gaza experience
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (01.29.15)
Seven soldiers died one day on the Gaza front because they were sent in an old and poorly protected personnel carrier. Now the send more soldiers on the northern front to patrol in a vulnerable jeep. Israel's defense industry has developed versions of the Trophy not just for tanks but for helicopters and light vehicles. So why are soldiers being sent along the front when the generals KNOW the enemy has both the weapons and the desire to use them?
12. why patrol ?
ky   (01.28.15)
when you have HD cameras that can be mounted on drones , airships or any hidden spot that can give a birds eye view of what is happening on both sides of the border. Don't offer opportunistic targets.
13.  IDF convoy hit in attack was unarmored
David ,   Jersey City ,US of A   (01.29.15)
These poor kids were murdered, not by Hezbollah but by the Israeli defense minister, the chief of stuff and the government We have heard time after time how the troops are combat ready and anticipating the Hezbollah response, why the hell they were patrolling that area in an unarmored vehicle, who sent them there, This is a high level conspiracy to send the kids to their death to be a sacrificial lamb to avert a wider war…. Even a blind person can see that...
