    Do you really think the IDF would allow them to walk out of that compound with loaded rifles in their hands? Or do you think it’s much more likely that the IDF unloaded all of those rifles, if they were ever loaded in the first place, gave them to the men, and then had them walk out?

    Because the IDF are really fucking stupid if it’s the former.

      While I generally agree with you, I do need to point out that those rifles are unloaded and it is common for enemy combatants to be forced to carry their non-combat-functional equipment this way as a method of capturing equipment.

      I’m no professional militant and I wasn’t there, so I have no comment.

      If you can prove otherwise relating to this article, with a reliable source, the facts remains as stated in the article.

        It’s not my job to prove the article is wrong. The article makes the claim and fails to prove the claim. I do not have to prove anyone is telling a lie. It’s not my job.

        Anyway, I never said the article was wrong. I asked questions- questions you have not even attempted to answer.
