2. no more medica treatment of shooters and stabbers
joe   (02.03.16)
zaka should not treat the wounded attackers. israelis should shoot arm themselvesl to the teeth and be ready to take out stabbers and shooters.
3. Damascus gate attack, AGAIN?????
David ,   Hartford USA   (02.03.16)
What the f--- is wrong with Israeli police and the IDF? How many times must someone get attacked and injured or killed at this location before some 'brilliant' general or police chief says, "Maybe we better station some officers there permanently." I think the IDF or the police can station some plain-clothes officers in the area and put an end to the attacks. Unless Bibi wants these attacks to continue to show the world what sociopaths Israel has to deal with..... More Israeli citizens need gun-carry permits. I don't ever want to read about another attack at the Damascus Gate. If I do, the entire Jerusalem police force should be fired.
4. Three wounded, one critically, in J'lem terror attack
jon ,   uk   (02.03.16)
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon how can a man in your position give approval for such terror if it was one of your family wounded will you still approve this terror ? it will better if you keep your thoughts to your self are being pushed in some way to say such illogical things
5. Should we use female guards here?
Wondering   (02.03.16)
While we are all saddened, and wish a complete recovery to these wonderful people, however, this is a major flashpoint, and perhaps too dangerous for female guards. Perhaps the additional physical strength that men have might better deter or foil attacks. This is not a place where you are shooting from long distance, in which case your skills with a weapon are key. Here, they can come and jump right at you, and physical strength matters.
6. Close Shar Shchem NOW!
rachel ,   Jerusalem ISRAEL   (02.03.16)
It is too easy for attacks. Make those who use it go through Shar Jafo and metal detectors. Even Hadar Mall has better security devices. Too bad if it impacts businesses. Maybe by inconvenience and loss of income attacks will be less "tempting".
7. Heart goes out to the Cohen family.
DOV ,   USA   (02.03.16)
Just how many murderers are lurking in the West Bank? These actions will not help the Palestinians. It will only create a bigger rift.
8. some israelis are stupid
jonas   (02.03.16)
terror continues in east jerusalme. herzog runs to kerry offering separation and of course concessions-the plan being egypt jordan and israel fight terror. yaalon says correctly that israel has to be determined, kill the attackers 1,10,100,1000 and the instigators and be patient like the russians at stalingrad where they were eating dead horses and drinking urine to survive in the brutal onslaught. \no, herzog runs like the spoiled kid he is , along wth lapid- let us run to kerry who made such a deal with iran who now treats the US like dirt. run to kerry, separate as if arabs will not attack the new point of separation. yet you guys vote for herzog and lapid. so it was not only past persecutions, it is this weakness in jewish people of fear, fear of death, oh my god, run to the US and they will solve our problems. tell that to the 6 million dead. herzog should be totally rejected. the answer to terror in the case of an insoluble conflict is to overwhelm terror in kind.\\ all families of terror should be punished and thrown out of countries. the entire east jerusalem should be canvassed door to door to remove all weapons period. plans should be made soon to liquidate hamas leadership with bring back general samia.
9. Very sad for that young woman, but....
Dino ,   Switzerland   (02.03.16)
....I'm afraid it is simply the price that you have to pay for your (occupation) sins. And deep inside you know it too.
10. the death-wish kids do seem to luv this Damascus Gate
Cameron ,   USA   (02.03.16)
Why is this such a magnet for getting chopped?
11. Wrong description ,...
split ,...   (02.03.16)
They're not terrorists at least those two who shot uniformed occupying soldiers in civilized world they call them freedom fighters .... The third one was in a wrong place at wrong time ,... There's a price to pay for an occupation and land theft ,...
12. response to terror attacks
simon ,   kfar saba, Israel   (02.03.16)
1. strip naked the terrorists for all to see 2. don't give back their bodies 3. dump their bodies in undisclosed location 4. deport all their family members and confiscate ALL their properties and assets as due compensence for their actions 5. paruchute their families hancuffed into another arab land of your choosing, far away from us, or even africa
13. Bibi, Yaalon and
Sagi   (02.03.16)
all the other useless idiots that call themselves government should go home and leave us all alone. They are the real terrorists, not the stabbers from Jenin or Tul Karem.
14. You need a different approach
Benji ,   US   (02.03.16)
Our sincere condolences to Hadar Cohen's family and we pray for a full recovery to the injured soldiers. It is very difficult to understand how Israel continues to provide jobs, medical care and services to the Palestinian enemy. Demolish the terrorist's homes and prevent them from getting near your civilians and soldiers.
15. bibi
Avi Schryber ,   givat Zeev israel   (02.03.16)
Bibi should be thrown out ! He is leading our wonderful country to ruin! He has no idea what to do with the Palestinians and just repeats his prattle that there is no one to talk to !!!
16. #13 and # 9
Beary White ,   Norway   (02.03.16)
#13; I partly agree with you... 2, 4, are OK. 3,; location = Sweden is OK. 4,; the assets should be sold, and money given to the be victims families. #9, Any muslims, like you, are not sinners !! Because the pagan god of muslims actually does NOT see killing of non-muslims as a bad act. Your muslim life contains nothing good, and is a total waste. Your pagan god has mislead a billion people. The only way up for you is to convert into Judaism or Christianity.
17. And days from now bodies will be returned ...
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (02.03.16)
... And given martyrs' funerals. It was widely expected that Israel would not abide by the "no return of bodies" directive. Yes, there'd be outrage in the beginning, but if the bodies were already gone - dumped at sea as with Bin Laden, or cremated - and Israel stuck to its decision, it would have had its intended impact. But Yaalon and company didn't want to "inflame the situation", so the attacks continue and good people continue to get killed.
18. Baruch Dayan H'Emet
C   (02.03.16)
beautiful, brave, hadar cohen, we pray for you among the morners of zion. as i stated before, there is something wrong with the training or with the standing orders. it is not acceptable that terrorists are faster at shooting than israeli defence forces. border police or idf should be ordered to approach any suspect, male, female, whatever age, with arms drawn, ready to shoot. hadar cohen lost her life because her weapon was not drawn and therefore she could not shoot the terrorist. gen. ya'alon must also make it clear to the troops that they have to be ready to confront multiple terrorists using multiple lethal weapons at one time. abbas is sending out very well trained men in the use of weapons.
19. 9 Jew hater Dino
C   (02.03.16)
muslims are murdering people all over the world. muslims are completely out of control. appeasement by the west has born its bitter fruit.
20. merchant palestinias and their families
earl   (02.03.16)
merchant palestinians are natural traders and entrepreneurs. they can do it in their sleep. Go back to the mandate ie balfour- you can split the land and have 2 countries in some type of swiss association that can transform the arab half to a jewel. you can then have unlimited vistas. the idea that you, and only you can have this piece of land and rewrite history means that in the end, no one will live in the area. Israel may be pushed to have a leader quite unlike you have ever seen and one that you would not wish.
21. Obama went to a mosque today
C   (02.03.16)
he declared that islam is like all religions and mosques are like churches and synagogues. obama is a manchurian candidate who no longer attempts to hide his true beliefs. we are not aware that churches and synagogues preach hatred and incite to murder of the other. we are not aware that synagogues preach that muslim are descendants of apes and pigs, as muslims preach about jews. we are not aware that christians and jews practice honour killings or sell their children into sexual slavery. the shia terror regime, the islamic state, hamas, hezbollah, boko haram, ansar al sharia, the army of islam, and many more muslim terror armies, slaughter innocents, including young children. both shia and sunni engage in genocide and have barbaric criminal codes.
22. Tough action against PA and Hamas and 'Jenin' Cell required
(02.04.16)
Better security around strategic places in Jerusalem and other vulnerable sites. Better body protection for guards essential, more intrusive stop and search, more metal detectors at vulnerable points like in Gaza crossings. More intelligence and surveillance. Better reviews of arms and people movements across the territory.Better video and people surveillance. consideration should be given to retaining terrorists neutralised to diminish the martyrdom syndrome. Strict curfew and restrictions on sources of terror.
23. How better to demoralize a nation.....
History nut ,   Israel   (02.04.16)
then to specifically attack it's young women and have the government do NOTHING! BS it prevented a bigger attack. They went out to slaughter women/girls. Wake the f up.
24. 5 women are as capable as men with rare exception
C   (02.04.16)
women fought during the war of independence. women fought and braved torture during wwii. hanna senes went to nazi hungary to warn the jews to flee. she was captured, tortured, and was offered freedom if she gave up her information. hadar cohen killed one of the terrorists before she collapsed. she and the others prevented a massacre of civilians. there is a special place next to the most holy one for this young, brave, beautiful young girl.
