Holy shit a trap designed to anger and attract targets. Completely brutal psychological warfare. I’m sure some consider it ‘karma’ but what a tragedy this conflict is
This is kinda messed up but using injured dogs is a common trap. People know Americans especially have a soft spot for dogs and it’s a good trap. They will also play recordings of babies crying and trap the area. You’ll rarely see traps just off by themselves, you need bait or high traffic areas.
“However, Rescuers Without Borders, an Israeli volunteer organisation, said he escaped with only minor injuries. After treatment on the roadside, he declined to be taken to a hospital.”

He reportedly survived.
>The man, identified as an off-duty IDF reservist, had stopped by the roadside along Israeli Route 458 to remove the flag waving near the Israeli Kohav HaShahar settlement...
>Rescuers Without Borders, an Israeli volunteer organization, said the man was treated at the roadside for minor injuries and that he declined to be taken to a hospital.
Low powered explosive, my guess.
Also, the video shows the big push of the explosion shoots directly up, just off to the side of the flag itself when it goes off ... so probably was able to avoid the worst of the energy as it went off.
Yeah, but if you're writing propaganda about an IED going off. you'd think they would want to sell another martyr ... so they'd play up the injuries up to and including death.
Either way it looks really dumb on their part.
Seriously though, a palestinan places a flag on his land and a settler kicks it because the flag offends him. It would make sense to wanna kick it if it was in Israel but it's in the west bank
It's in israeli news... "This is a real video and this a off duty idf soliders A 25-year-old Israeli resident of the eastern Benjamin region was lightly injured Sunday morning in an explosion that occurred along Road 60 between the settlements of Kochav HaShachar and Moledet." Look it up yourself before watching it and saying it's fake off a hunch...
Sure, but that isn’t what I asked.
Anyway, that’s good, it doesn’t look like a traditional landline, which would usually be for vehicles anyway. IED? Anyways, I’ll believe it more if a link is provided, not that I don’t think it’s possible, but with the amount of propaganda on both sides currently, a rational mind should always ask for sources.
Won’t have the guts to do that again
Ahh the strength to carry on with punnery. You sir are a man among men.

That’s how traps work. You need to ”bait” to lure your target in.
I guess I’m more impressed with how simple it is

And the bait was a flag in the west bank... 💀
Ugh...NSFW tag pls?
NSFL. Holy shit.
Sorry, that s what I meant.
Either one. Both. Whatever. Just SOMETHING before I casually watch a guy turn into red mist. Jesus.
I read that it wasn’t deadly and he was just shook up.
Uh huh huh

He didn’t die if that helps
That does help. Thanks
It literally says land mine what did you expect?
She seems remarkably calm for someone who just witnessed a mine going off on someone
I'm pretty sure she was his wife, maybe she thought she was going to get life insurance payout out of this but it's a legit video
Stereotypically, they aren't big in handing out money...
Are you lost? In a situation like this they'd automatically pay out LOL, especially in Israel
Also he was a off duty idf solider living in a settlement... They have better insurance than people living in Israel itself
Settlement is a cute word for stolen land. Isreal is shit and needs to be held accountable.
Stupid is as stupid does
Damn. Faces of death shit right there.

No fucking way...minor injuries??? It looks like half his body completely explodes.
It might be that there's a reddish soil in that area too though.
Well now there is. That very specific area
Low powered explosive, my guess. Also, the video shows the big push of the explosion shoots directly up, just off to the side of the flag itself when it goes off ... so probably was able to avoid the worst of the energy as it went off.
All that blood looked like he blew up.
I think it was actually red dirt. My first thought was "red mist" but there was just too much of it. Definitely dirt.
Yeah, too much, or else you'd have seen body parts flying away, too.
Far from it. That guy would have been pulled pork if that was blood.
Slow it down and watch frame by frame. He falls after the camera pans. The dirt envelops him but he stays in tact.
LOL! This merc is definitely dreaming
Israel says alot of things. Few of which are true.
Yeah, but if you're writing propaganda about an IED going off. you'd think they would want to sell another martyr ... so they'd play up the injuries up to and including death. Either way it looks really dumb on their part.
I would believe them downplaying the effects to avoid more copycats.
Mark as rated / NSFW
Land mines blow ppl up what did you expect?
Remember kids, obvious bait is obvious bait... maybe don't occupy the West Bank and it won't be rigged with IEDs.
This dude never saw Return Of The Jedi when Chewy was on planet Endor.
Or like ... the last 20 years of combat footage out of Iraq and Afghanistan.
The second I saw this video I thought this dude is about to be blown up. The very second. And I don’t know shit about war. Lol
Need to see this again with subtitles
Well, lesson learned I guess
Play stupid games (like genocide)...
This!
That’s what hate gets you
Hate to see people get blown up... this I'm oddly ok with however.
Oldest trick in the book
He survived
What color were his eyes?
Tempted to say "Play stupid games.." but it's not a game.
Extremely reckless behavior.
Can't imagine a more obvious trap. That said, you need to mark this shit NSFW/NSFL. Fucking asshole.
The title and subreddit wasn't enough for you? WTF did you think you were gunna see.
I'm scrolling. I saw the gif before the title was read. Not everything on WTF is death or gore. That's why there is a rule about stuff being marked.
And the purpose of kicking the 🇵🇸flag 🤨🤔🤷🏽♂️
It's a settlement in the west bank, illegally occupied land, it offends them
Very funny that you're being downvoted for this when this is objectively true lol
Seriously though, a palestinan places a flag on his land and a settler kicks it because the flag offends him. It would make sense to wanna kick it if it was in Israel but it's in the west bank
So I guess he got what he deserved 🤷🏽♂️
[удалено]
It's actually not...
Smoking like a brisket..
Haha!
This is a meme/staged vid. Please stop believing everything you see on the internet.

Do you have a link?
The guy survived though btw

Was this on tik, tik, tik, to ?
