The cameraman that edited that shot caught a nice pose, it maybe an old photo ,I do not think they use the M-16 these days. What about the kid in the yellow t-shirt, he was there too? He probably asked the kid if he had a lollipop that he could stick in the barrel?

IDF, Palestinians clash on Gaza border ahead of Jerusalem march.
Three wildfires break out in south, believed caused by incendiary devices launched from Gaza; Palestinian source says Hamas instructed Gaza factions to refrain from rocket fire, limit action to altercations along shared border.

Israeli forces clashed Tuesday with a small number of Palestinian protesters near the Gaza border fence
One Palestinian was lightly hurt by a gunshot wound in his leg during the riots in the southern Strip, the IDF said.
Hamas warned that it would launch rockets into Israel if the march went ahead, but a Palestinian source told Ynet that the terror group that rules Gaza instructed the Palestinian factions there to refrain from rocket fire and limit their activities to protests on the border, including igniting fires in Israeli fields with the use of incendiary balloons.
Extra batteries of the Iron Dome missile defence system were deployed to the south of the country and to other locations following the warning from Hamas that it would launch rockets over the parade

"We are preparing for renewed fighting," he said, warning that Israel's response to rocket fire from Gaza would be more severe than during the bitter May conflict.

Did he shoot him ?

No, I believe the kid brought out his water pistol and shot it down the soldiers trousers, his uniform, of which he started to blush and ran to change.
The young lad was carried of on the shoulders of a group of young ****agers, as a hero!

IDF strikes Gaza Strip after incendiary balloon fires
A number of fires broke out in southern Israel on Tuesday, with at least 20 of them sparked by incendiary balloons launched from Gaza.

Defense Minister Benny Gantz held a situation assessment with IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi, Shin Bet head Nadav Argaman, etc. He warned that Israel would respond forcefully to any act of aggression against Israel.
While Gantz stressed that he "wasn't promising" to attack for "every rocket or balloon at 3 a.m." he added that he would attack when it was "convenient" for Israel.

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has also made statements in the past warning that incendiary balloons would be treated like rockets.

Putin tells a joke about the IDF

[sinkov]

More news you won't see on the BBC or Grauniad, or even from my good friend BT, who much prefers to post infantile, photo-shopped pictures.

"Israel on Friday began transferring some 1 million Pfizer vaccine doses to the Palestinians to help them with their floundering coronavirus vaccination campaign, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s office said Friday."

Why on earth they would help a people who want to wipe them off the face of the earth is beyond me, but clearly their magnanimity and generosity knows no bounds.

Israel warns ‘no choice’ but to ready attack plans after Raisi wins Iran elections

Officials show great concern over election of supreme leader's confidant and staunch proponent of Tehran's nuclear program, say require budgets and reallocation of resources for prepping military option

https://www.ynetnews.com/article/B1hkjUhi00

Ebrahim Raisi — an ultra-conservative and former prosecutor who has sentenced thousands of people to be executed — is likely to adopt Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s hard line views on foreign and nuclear policy.
Raisi backs a return to the 2015 deal limiting Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief, a scenario which Israeli decision-makers assess won’t occur before August when Raisi takes office, Channel 12 reported.

Between now and then, Iran will likely continue building up its stockpile of enriched uranium.
“There will be no choice but to go back and prepare attack plans for Iran’s nuclear program. This will require budgets and the reallocation of resources,” an unnamed senior Israeli source was quoted as saying.

On Thursday, Defense Minister Benny Gantz said Israel and the United States are cooperating to increase the monitoring of Tehran’s nuclear program, adding that “all options are on the table” regarding Israel’s willingness to conduct military operations to achieve its objectives,

Israel to give Palestinians 1.2 million COVID vaccines in coming days, Israel has faced widespread criticism for failing to help Palestinians amid its world-beating vaccine drive.
BUT:
Israel has maintained that under the Oslo Accords, the Palestinians are responsible for immunizations in the West Bank.
Gaza, meanwhile, is controlled by the Hamas terror group.
BUT:
Palestinians are calling for the establishment of an independent commission of inquiry into the Pfizer vaccine agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
Despite the PA government’s decision late Friday to cancel the agreement, many Palestinians denounced the deal as a “big scandal” and called for holding those responsible to account.
Israel would give more than one million soon-to-expire Pfizer doses to the PA. In return, Israel would receive later this year the same number of vaccines that were purchased by the PA.
Some Palestinians initially criticized the PA for striking the deal with Israel on the pretext that it was a form of “normalization with the Israeli occupation.”
But upon learning that the Israeli-supplied vaccines were about to expire, many Palestinians condemned the PA and accused it of “tampering” with the health of the Palestinian people.

The Israeli Health Ministry said on Saturday night that "the COVID-19 vaccines we gave the Palestinian Authority were perfectly valid. The expiration dates were known to the PA and everything was agreed upon in advance. The Palestinians received the same vaccines that are currently given to Israelis."
Already on Thursday, before any formal announcement was made, the PA reportedly held issue with two conditions surrounding the transfer of the vaccines, one of which was that the agreement would not be signed under the “State of Palestine” and the second was that the vaccines would not be transferred to the Gaza Strip.
COGAT commander Maj.-Gen. Rassan Alian said that “over the last few weeks, we have been working very hard to bring about the signing of the vaccination agreement between the State of Israel and the Palestinian Authority, which entails a significant joint effort to eradicate COVID-19 in our region.
Earlier this year, activists, NGOs and media outlets accused Israel of withholding vaccines from Palestinians and violating international law by not vaccinating them.
However, the Palestinian Authority had not asked Israel for help with the vaccines, while Israel had actually offered assistance and vaccinated 100,000 Palestinians with Israeli work permits as Israel’s vaccine rollout reached its peak. Israel also vaccinated Palestinians in east Jerusalem, who are registered under Israeli HMOs.
In addition, the Oslo Accords stipulate that the PA is responsible for healthcare, including vaccinations, for Palestinians in Judea and Samaria and Gaza.
