Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Relaxing on His Porch, Israeli Spies Palestinian Terrorist and Shoots Him Dead with M16
2022-05-10
There are a million stories in the little country. This is one of them.
[Breitbart] An Israeli man was sipping tea with his family on the porch of his home in the West Bank settlement of Tekoa on Sunday evening when he spotted an armed Palestinian trying to scale the security fence. The man, a father of seven, rushed his family inside and grabbed his M16 rifle and shot the terrorist.

"I was sitting with my wife and children on the balcony and we drank a cup of tea," Yair Maimon recounted. "Suddenly I saw a guy climbing a pole in a fence next to my house. I shouted at him ’Who are you?’ And he mumbled something indecipherable. I immediately realized it was a terrorist attack. I rushed my wife and children inside the house, and told them to close the doors. I took out the gun.

"I immediately went outside and realized that the terrorist had managed to get to the parking lot of the house. I heard a rustling noise from the bushes, I turned around and saw him in front of my eyes with the knife in hand. I immediately fired several bullets until he was neutralized. It could’ve ended very differently."

As a civilian member of the settlement’s security team, Maimon is allowed to possess a weapon.

His 13-year-old daughter caught the whole incident on her camera phone. She can be heard saying "Die!" to the terrorist once her father had shot him, before bursting into tears and exclaiming, "Mommy!"

#10   Israel does not suffer from the kind of chronic urban violence that is common in say, Chicago

The Arab-Israeli villages do. That’s one reason the Muslim Brotherhood’s political party joined Naftali Bennett’s government.

#9  Gun Control in Israel is done with the background that a lot of civilians have military or other security experience and that experience includes firearms training.

Israel does not suffer from the kind of chronic urban violence that is common in say, Chicago or Baltimore. It does suffer from aspiring killers from the territories or even from some natives who want to kill for political reasons.

Population in Israel is about 10 million.
Active IDF is about 160k
Reservists are about 500k

#7  Maimon is allowed to possess a weapon.


Not a very enlightened policy considering the number of people trying to kill you for wearing a funny hat.

#6  The classic 'never bring a knife to a gun fight' moment. We like classics.

Are the European NGOs now processing paperwork via the Palestinian Authority to give the corpse's family a stipend?

"Settlement security team".... what a novel concept.
