(IsraelNN.com) According to eyewitnesses, members of the extreme-left
group “Machsom Watch” told soldiers to release an Arab teen who turned out to be
an armed terrorist. Soldiers at the Huwarra checkpoint apprehended a teen after
finding explosives on his person. Soldiers wrestled the would-be attacker to the
ground, and the explosives were later detonated by IDF sappers.
Members of
“Women in Blue and White,” a group dedicated to encouraging soldiers at
checkpoints and giving them food and drinks, were present at the time and said
that members of “Machsom Watch” had yelled at the soldiers as they
struggled with the terrorist, saying “Leave him alone, he’s just a
child.” Women in Blue and White activists added that many soldiers had
complained about “Machsom Watch,” warning that the group has interfered in
security checks and could cause a disaster.
