Hebron shooting
The accidental shooting happened south-east of the city of Hebron as the two armed Israelis, reportedly security guards from a nearby research site, were travelling in a car, the army said.
Bullets riddled the front of the vehicle, which had the word “security” written in Hebrew on both doors and the hood.
Israeli troops were hunting suspected Palestinian militants after receiving intelligence warnings that they were planning an attack, the army said in a statement.
The army expressed regret at the error, calling it an “operational failure” and immediately launched an inquiry into the incident.
“accidental shooting” Look at the amount of shots! 🙁

Thats a seriously thirsty assault on the wrong guys…major OOPS!!!
“Fire!”……(15 seconds later)…”ok, ok, I think we got ’em!”
This is not just an assault, its revenge, but again on the wrong guys.

There must have been a few clips that went into that car.
Out of interest what calibre ammunition was it? 5.56 or 9, I know windscreen glass is practically bullet proof, but after that number of shots I would have thought the glass would give way.
A terrible accident never-the-less.
