1. Fighting Back

How is fighting back against soldiers making war an act of terrorism?

It is unfortunate that the soldier was killed. But he was making war on Palestinian civilians when he got killed.
2. Situational awareness. Did these soldiers have it?
David ,   Hartford USA   (05.27.18)
Was there a drone overhead with night vision to see what was on the rooftops so the troops could be warned?

If not, why not? EVERY mission should have at least two drones dedicated to it. A soldier is dead because nobody knew what was happening on the roof.

This must never happen again. Somebody didn't prepare properly for this mission. Somebody needs a reprimand in their file- a soldier is dead because of lack of proper preparation. When soldiers go out, drones must lead.

soldiers are being blown apart while Israel media hound idf and demand investigation of any and all interrogations of Arabs who in general are disloyal to the state.that is why when feiglin takes power, a new loyalty act will be passed. many Arabs then will move out of the country.

netanyahu does none of that. the man is weak. no wonder he wanted to unite with fellow weakling herzog. no wonder he sat passively during the Gaza war without a bloody clue on what to do. the man has no understanding of the battlefield.

Mark,
the young soldier was not "killed", he was murdered, and the fact that his parents now have to bury him is not "unfortunate", it is a most horrible tragedy.
As regarding the "war on Palestinian civilians": His unit was there to arrest terrorists responsible for shooting attacks, not speed limit violations. In the USA, when cops come to arrest criminals, are they making war on American civilians?!
