IDF Solves Terror Problem

On March 22, 2010, the IDF finally solved the terror problem, when it proved the feasibility of a newly designed solution. Ehud Barak – currently the Minister of Defense – apparently said after the recent event: “It’s a fulfilled dream.” He has a good reason for that; he was the IDF’s Head of the General Headquarters (usually translated as Chief of the General Staff) between 1991 and 1995, when he unsuccessfully tried to implement a plan to transform the IDF into a small and smart army. In his days, the IDF eventually continued growing fueled by American taxpayers’ money.

On the evening of March 22, the IDF received a report of three Palestinians who had crossed the security fence between Re'im and Kissufim, from Gaza into Israel. IDF forces, including a tank unit, were summoned to the scene. Three soldiers descended from the tank and approached the fence by foot due to a regulation not to fire shells in the area.

At the same time, a jeep of Golani soldiers arrived. The Golani soldiers saw the tank soldiers and opened fire on them, believing them to be Palestinians. One of the tank soldiers was killed before the Golani soldiers realized their error and ceased fire. Golani is an infantry brigade of the IDF Northern Command; General Ashkenazi made most of his career in it, from simple soldier to its commander. Its being in Gaza - which is under the control of the Southern Command - is usual, this type of units rotate between the different conflict areas. In the typical Israeli racist system, Golani is known to recruit mainly Oriental Jews. More details about the IDF are available in the The Cross of Bethlehem. Later, the three Palestinian infiltrators were captured and interrogated. The IDF concluded they had attempted to enter Israel to look for work. More
