Highlighted above were just some of the many examples of the security threats that the IDF confronts on a daily basis. The alertness of IDF soldiers and their success in these operations is what prevents terror attacks against Israel.

The lack of public interest in the rest of the world towards threats related to Israel doesn't means that said threats doesn't exists and miss the fact that many attacks are thwarted by Israeli Security forces.

The list of thwarted attacks above shows that Palestinian terrorists are still comited to injure innocent Israelis, and don't do so frequently because the Israelis are working hard to keep their people safe.

Palestinian terrorist have used firearms to aptemp sniper attacks against Israeli civilians in various occasion, here are some example for those saying that a ''few weapons'' are harmless.

It was an open miracle, residents said.

A Palestinian Arab sniper aimed at the junction to Kibbutz Yad Mordechai on Monday evening, and scored a direct hit into the back windshield of a car, pumping bullets into the back of the vehicle. At least one went dead center into the back of a baby's car seat.

So... what are we meant to debate here? All I see is a dumbass conspiracy theory about how attacks on Israel aren't reported.

The Palestinians where just giving the IDF back the bombs dropped during cast lead...I mean they where aimed at civilians then, so the IDF obviously wanted them to detonate and kill as many women and kids as possible (No shocks their has been Israeli policy since the mandate to slaughter civilians.) The Palestinians just decided to change the race of the victims.

I am not too sure but I must commend the terrorists on organising their stockpiles in such neat style. Evil but organised.

[s.rwitt]

Jews.

[cupoftea]

How Israel is still a victim of those mean muslims or something.

All Quiet on Israeli Front.

Most of them are fair enough but how does arresting a man with a hunting rifle and a shotgun qualify as a thwarted terror attack?

That depends what preys they want to hunt.

You can call it a sniper terrorist attack.

Being Palestinian and posessing a weapon equates to attacking Israel I suppose.

[alexanderswift]

Was there reason to believe he was going to start shooting? I don't see any mention of that just that he had guns and was a known criminal, which is reason enough to arrest him but not really terrorism.

Edit: Or is it the same sniper in that article? The first post was just a bit vague.

Edit Again: There was a link to it in the first article, but I'm still failing to see how that's terrorism.

[hellheaven1987]

I wonder whether it can count as terrorist attack if natives of colonies attack the colonial masters...

[I WUB PUGS]

I'm laughing at the picture, does anyone else see how ridiculous it is?

[Menelik_I]

The AK with Israeli colors used by a wannabe terrorist is really priceless

[Bolkonsky]

I'm laughing at the picture, does anyone else see how ridiculous it is?

How is he gonna fit those mags into his AK?

Based on that picture, I think the terrorists stopped themselves.

[I WUB PUGS]

I'm just laughing at the random assortment of ammo and all the 5.56 STANAG mags for his AK.

The first shared around 53.000 times, the second around 6.500 times.

Who needs the mainstream media when the IDF churns out enough of these and they get spread by major Israeli political parties?
