All Threats to Israeli Military Units Must Be Neutralized

Last week at approximately 0730, our military outpost came under heavy fire by a lone civilian armed with rocks. As acting commander, I felt it prudent to deploy two AH-64D Longbow Apache attack helicopters to neutralize the threat and deter any future hostilities. The M230E1 Chain Cannon, with its ability to fire 600 rounds per minute, made disposal of the hostile slingshot-armed civilian quick and efficient.

At this point in the exchange, several angry guerrilla Palestinian troops emerged from nearby buildings and commenced attacking with granite-based projectile weapons, nearly denting the armor-plated side of one of the AH-64D helicopters.

As a retaliatory measure, I exercised the option of firing three AGM-114 Hellfire missiles into the civilian residential compound (i.e. apartment building) that provided cover for these vicious terrorists. Destruction of the structure was immediate.


Why Did You Kill My Brother and Destroy My Home?

My big brother went to the market to get some food, but he never came home. Why did you shoot my brother? He was not throwing rocks at you or anything, even though he was very angry when you killed his best friend. He was just walking by with his arms full of groceries when you came with the most technologically advanced military helicopter in the world came and killed everyone. He did nothing to you, he was just walking close to someone who was throwing rocks at you! And then after that, why did you blow up my home? Perhaps instead of wasting $10 million worth of armaments, we could have had a peace process or something.
