Have you seen this video???!?

What you're looking at are thermal images taken from an Israeli unmanned drone flying high above on the night of July 21. Two figures catch the eye of the drone operator sitting in a comfortable office far away. The figures are identified as Palestinian gunmen approaching the fence separating the Gaza Strip from Israel. The two gunmen move slowly among the bushes.

An Israeli unit is dispatched on a mission of interception, and you can see clearly that both sides are moving very slowly heading toward a collision.

The Palestinian gunman realizes that the Israeli forces are a few feet away and opens fire. A gun battle erupts. The black dots flying everywhere are the hot rifle shells. At this point one Palestinian gunman lies dead.

The explosion you see on the top right side is a grenade that was thrown by the second Palestinian gunman. The grenade explodes and doesn't injure any Israeli soldier.

One of the Israeli officers is roughly five feet from the surviving gunman and he decides to charge; but he makes a crucial mistake and doesn't remember to change his empty cartridge.

This is where low tech meets high tech.

With all the armored gear both sides have -- night vision goggles, automatic rifles, grenades, and a sophisticated remote controlled drone in the air -- what the Israeli officer is left with is wrestling the Palestinian to the ground with his bare hands.

You can see the officer standing up and running towards the Palestinian, but with no shells flying, he reaches the Palestinian and they are left tied up in a bundle, each fighting for his life.

The Palestinian pulls out another grenade and the Israeli manages to turn the Palestinian in the direction of the explosion, which kills the Palestinian, and leaves the Israeli officer only slightly wounded.

That was pretty intense, most people would be ****ting their pants.

[Boche]

real combat footage is always intense to watch, nothing come close

[Erwin]

what's also amazing is that it was released. I always wonder about the reasons for presumably classified info appearing on U-Tube.

[Lethaface]

Well I don't see any secret info in the footage. Everyone know Israel has drones with FLIR.

That was insane. I dont care how many internet military "experts" there are (and there are a few on this forum), when it comes to the crunch it takes a special kind of balls to grit your teeth and run at someone like that.

I like how the info that the Israeli soldier 'forgot' his ammo was dry on his gun, like somehow whoever put that vid up originally managed to find that bit of info out. Credit where credit is due, 'cos it looks to me like he just stormed ahead regardless.

Doesn't IDF officers carry a secondary sidearm??!

Normal training when the main goes "click" is to just drop it and fast draw the secondary.

edit: seeing how fast and close it was I think he maybe wanted to take the suspect alive?
