Comrades from the “Mistaravim” unit, including Bar-El Shemoueli, went to his bedside at Soroka hospital and sang in front of his bed. Bar-El is still between life and death after being shot in the head by a terrorist through a hole in the security wall that separates the Gaza Strip from Israeli territory.
The first elements of the investigation carried out by the Tsahal indicate two serious dysfunctions at the command level. The first is symptomatic of the spirit which unfortunately reigns at the top of the Tsahal pyramid but also of the political level for many years: normally, the officers and soldiers should never have allowed the provocateurs and the terrorists to approach. of the wall, even at the cost of deaths in their camp. But the desire not to cause casualties on the enemy side and lead to an “escalation” has once again led to an incident which could end in tragedy for our own forces. Second malfunction, the Israeli snipers should not have been so close and could not be effective where they were stationed.
In addition, the terrorist had hidden his weapon in his pocket and took it out at the last moment to shoot in the direction of Bar-El.
