Is that an IED or a missile?

4 soldiers got wounded.

Feb. 17, 2018
JERUSALEM — Four Israeli soldiers were wounded Saturday, two of them severely, by an explosive device that the Israeli military said had been attached to a Palestinian flag and placed along the Gaza border during protests there on Friday.

Israel responded, first, quickly, with tank fire on a Palestinian observation post near the scene of the explosion, and then — after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the episode “severe” and promised to “respond appropriately” — with airstrikes on six targets. That led to an exchange of rockets from Gaza, more tank fire from Israel and a second wave of air attacks early Sunday.

All told, it was some of the bloodiest fighting between Israel and Gaza since the seven-week war in the summer of 2014 that Israel called Operation Protective Edge.

The Popular Resistance Committees, a militant offshoot of Fatah that has specialized in setting roadside bombs and other explosive devices, praised the attack, saying on its website that the “heroic operation” showed a “readiness to defend the Palestinian people” against Israeli attacks

They got the big pole it was a classic BOHICA moment. Number one rule you never fuck with stuff on battlefield unless you see it being handled or who it was. Otherwise just shoot it or blast it.

Agreed! That's the oldest trick in the book. Find something, especially a flag, that someone would want to grab, and booby trap it. I've seen it all the time in Vietnam War movies.
