It's a shame that armoured ambulances need to exist. But that's what happens when your opponent does warcrimes.

And that’s why Israel has them too

I had a teacher who is also a paramedic. During the second intifada they would drive into the middle of a fire fight and he would jump out and grab the injured and get out of there.

Sadly innocent civilians are even attacked at hospitals, https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/23/middleeast/palestinian-body-exchange-demand-intl/index.html, Palestinians kidnapped an innocent Druze boy and he died, right from a hospital.

Would be more specific to say hamas terrorists, no? It's not like the Afghan war was about fighting the Afghanistanis but rather the Taliban

No they were random Palestinians in the West Bank that were part of a different group. The PA lead by Fatah has a weak hold on the WB and lost Gaza completely in 2007. Mahmoud Abbas is 87 and will die soon, Fatah is pretty weak, Hamas is strong, but not decisively like in Gaza. Major cities are way more separate in WB, so different group tend to have control in the different cities, like Ramallah, Jenin, Hebron, etc... In this case Hamas was not involved. Many Palestinians will attack Israeli citizens(these Druze were Israeli), as the Palestinian government will pay their families though pay to slay, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_Authority_Martyrs_Fund.

Edit: accidentally replaced fatah with hamas

Radicalised people gonna do radical things i guess. Though to be fair, even the boy's father said they took the body instead of my son. Doesn't seem like it was a slaying of the boy who was in a car accident

Ironic comment considering the Palestinians’ lengthy history of using ambulances for terror purposes.

Hamas Uses Hospitals and Ambulances for Military Purposes

Hamas tried to hijack ambulances during Gaza war

Israeli authorities arrested Nidal Abd al-Fatah Abdallah Nazal, a Hamas activist who worked as a UNRWA ambulance driver. During his interrogation, Nazal admitted to using his ambulance to transport "arms and messages to Hamas activists in various cities, exploiting the freedom of movement granted to him" as a UNRWA employee.

Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance was intercepted at a checkpoint south of Ramallah. The ambulance was transporting not only a sick Palestinian child and his relatives, but also an explosives belt hidden under the child's stretcher. During his interrogation, the ambulance driver—Islam Jibril, a wanted Fatah Tanzim terrorist—admitted that he had intended to transport the explosives to other Fatah Tanzim operatives in Ramallah.

Wafa Idris, the female responsible for the January 2002 suicide bombing in Jerusalem that killed one Israeli civilian and wounded more than 100, was a Palestinian Red Crescent paramedic who used her credentials to pass through checkpoints easily on her way to carry out the attack.

Palestinian chemist, Al-Nimr agreed to help find a safe place to store the chemicals and offered to covertly transfer them to Hamas in a Palestinian ambulance.

Yes, this is in 2023 alone. (Hebrew source, feel free to use Google translate)

Let's stop lying please.

What numbers game?

He said it's "Guns vs rocks". But It's guns and explosive charges and knives versus innocent Israeli civilians.

Why are you trying to change the subject?

And the vast, overwhelming majority of those deaths are terrorists and militants. But you’re just gonna leave out that little tidbit since it doesn’t suit your narrative.

Sorry not sorry, I don’t feel any sympathy for Palestinian terrorists killed while killing or planning to kill innocent civilians.

If you really want to play a numbers game, start with the truth.

There were not even 300 Palestinians killed in 2022. so certainly less than 1 a day.

​

(and even once you get the real number, how many of those were active combatants, or killed because of their immediate proximity to active combatants? The vast majority of Israelis killed by palestinians were not only not active combatants, they were civilians just doing day to day stuff nowhere near a firefight)

and neither does Israel just walk around picking up palestinian kids to torture. Of course someone involved in a terrorist activity, or endangering the lives of others, by throwing rocks at cars for example, should be detained. The torture thing is just another accusation thrown around without any basis or proof. Just like the accusation that Israel loves to do this. Israel wants all these terrorists, and their kids that have been raised to hate to just leave Israel alone.

(now after having written all of this, I hope you were just sincerely uneducated, and have now learnt something, and I haven't wasted my time with a troll.)
