Snip:

The Israeli regime military says seven of its troops were killed in the southern Gaza Strip after an armored vehicle they were traveling in was hit by an explosive device on Tuesday.

Effie Defrin, the chief spokesman for the Israeli military, said on Wednesday that seven personnel, including an officer, were killed by an explosive device in the southern city of Khan Yunis.

This marks the highest death toll in a single incident in Gaza for the Israeli military since a ceasefire between Israel and the Gaza-based Hamas resistance movement collapsed in March following Tel Aviv’s resumption of aggression.

He described the deaths as painful and difficult and part of a “complex” incident that was still being investigated, adding that the battalion to which the soldiers belonged had been locating and demolishing tunnels and killing Palestinian resistance fighters.

Beautiful video. What a fucking clown army that chills with the lid open.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 6 points 6 days ago

Hard to feel bad about the deaths of genocidal psychopaths. That's seven less professional killers murdering families, as far as I'm concerned.

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 59 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I think I saw the video for this; just so we're clear, if this is that video (which also said seven IOF were turned into confetti), it was someone who dashed up to a (tank?), went up to the open hatch and dropped the little gift inside. You could even see the helmet of one of the stormtroopers inside, and I think I heard some screaming too before it went off.

They didn't fire something at the vehicle, a guy ran right up to it and climbed up; the guys who are fighting the IOF, despite being starved, have nerves of steel to actually destroy these dangerous vehicles by going right up to them; they'd make the IRA proud.

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 25 points 1 week ago

Yeah, there used to be tons of videos circulating around of resistance fighters running up on foot and sticking bombs to IOF tanks and things like that. It's really incredible.

[–] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

Exactly. And all of that while filming on a cell phone in one hand and taking fire from elsewhere.

[–] Z_Poster365@hexbear.net 55 points 1 week ago (1 children)

it wasn't "hit" by IED lmao

A brave soldier ran up and dropped an IED in the open hatch and scorched them all

Israelis are so incompetent at ground war, they literally just all get into a tin can and sit still with the lid open, letting random people on foot just climb up onto their vehicles

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Israelis are so incompetent at ground war,

It's like combined arms 101. You need infantry watching the tank's side and rear to prevent people from walking right up to it and doing exactly what you just described. The tank then uses its armor to protect the infantry who can hide behind it.

I guess when you rely on video games to train your tank crews, they get used to third person cameras lmao

Just for context, there was an airstrike ordered nearby so SOP mandates infantry remounts into armored vehicles for protection against shrapnel.

With that being said, yeah, obviously people fucked up operationally, and they should have had some kind of situational awareness, but, they weren’t just like chilling. They were sheltering in place for a couple minutes.

[–] stink@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 6 days ago

With the lid wide open so they could catch a breeze?

They've never faced discomfort once in their pampered lives, so obviously they can't get claustrophobic for a few minutes!

[–] NuraShiny@hexbear.net 34 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Only one officer? Musta recruited those guys only minutes before for them to not all at least be Rear Admirals yet!

[–] Z_Poster365@hexbear.net 31 points 1 week ago (2 children)

sure seems like they only had minutes worth of training. All of them were sitting in their armored vehicle with the hatch open, not moving. The Hamas fighter just walked up and dropped an IED in the open lid lmao

With their lid open and no visibility on their surroundings?

[–] Hathaway@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 days ago

I mean, you’re not going to have shrapnel entering it, shrapnel doesn’t generally have arcing fire lol or the likely hood is so low, why bother. However, like I said, idk what they were doing. Obviously there’s a lapse in situational awareness. I’m also not defending them lol just pointing out the obvious.
