A video was posted on the social network documenting a Palestinian terrorist getting out of his vehicle at the Kedumim junction, lighting a Molotov cocktail and throwing it from zero range at a fighter in the Golani Brigade.
The fighter is afraid to shoot and the terrorist fled the scene.
MK Bezalel Smutrich wrote on Twitter: “This story is just crazy.
But this warrior is not guilty. Whoever is to blame is the legal system in the State of Israel, which is behaving like in Sodom. “Whoever prosecutes Arie Schiff on a murder charge will not be surprised when fighters are afraid to shoot terrorists.”
MK Ophir Sofer said, “Watching the video quite a few times is dead to find an explanation for something you do not see here. If only these are the facts, this incident is very disturbing. Get up early and kill him is not just a slogan.”
An IDF spokesman responded, “Today a Molotov cocktail was thrown at a fighter at a position near Kedumim in Samaria. “The IDF force began pursuing the suspect. The incident ended without any damage or casualties.”
Jerusalem Minister of Heritage, Rabbi Rafi Peretz said following the video, “Such an event must end with a neutralized terrorist. Alive or dead.”
“The response in the video is very disturbing. The defense minister must make sure that the commander-in-chief and the commanders of the sector draw the necessary lessons so that such an incident does not happen again. Such a response only reinforces terrorism. The IDF must be a winning army, we have no other option. .
