| 2024-07-07 |
| [IsraelTimes] 2 soldiers have been killed recently by explosive devices buried under roads. Data on IED manufacture shows a fast-growing threat. The fear is that civilians will be targeted next. In barely a week, the Israel Defense Forces has lost two fighters to powerful roadside kabooms in the West Bank. Cpt. Alon Sacgiu, 22, a sniper team commander in the Kfir Brigade’s Haruv reconnaissance unit, was killed in a kaboom in the Jenin refugee camp on June 27; Sgt. First Class (res.) Yehuda Geto, 22, a combat driver, was killed in a kaboom in the Nur Shams refugee camp on July 1. Sources at the IDF’s Central Command speak extensively about the deepening threat posed by these improvised bombs (IEDs), and the imperative to tackle the hostile areas where they are being planted in order to preserve the IDF’s freedom of action. |

| #1 It's difficult when every Jew (everywhere in the World) is legitimate target, but Arabs enjoy UN "laws of war" protection. |
