Tonight (Sat) near the settlement of Kedumim, a terrorist was seen throwing a Molotov cocktail at a soldier and returning to his vehicle without a response from the soldier. In the documentation seen on the security cameras, a Palestinian man stopped his rabbi on the side of the road, approached a soldier and apparently threw a Molotov cocktail at him. The terrorist fled back to his vehicle as he looked after him and expected a response from the soldier, but he did not arrive and the terrorist escaped safely. Throughout the video, the soldier appears to be in awe, apparently not significantly injured by the Molotov cocktail.
This story is just crazy. A fighter in the Golani GDSR is afraid to shoot a terrorist who sets him on fire and throws at him at zero range range (under my house in Kedumim). 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. Anyone who prosecutes Arie Schiff on a murder charge will not be surprised when fighters are afraid to shoot terrorists. pic.twitter.com/mBhGKyCGUC

MK Bezalel Smutrich shared the video and added an accusing caption to the overall system: “This story is just crazy. A fighter in the Golani GDSR is afraid to shoot a terrorist who is setting him on fire and throws him at the KVT from zero range (under my house in Kedumim). 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.”
The IDF spokesman responded: “Earlier today, a Molotov cocktail was thrown at an IDF fighter near a military post near the settlement of Kedumim in the Samaria Territorial Brigade area. Sources report that the IDF does not view the soldier’s response favorably, and that soldier will probably be questioned about the non-response he took. “
