The IDF is investigating the actions of a Golani combat soldier who was attacked by a masked assailant that threw a firebomb at him near the town of Kedumim, Samaria.
The incident took place just after Shabbos ended, close to 6:00PM.
The masked man, who is assumed to be a Palestinian, arrived at the entrance to the town by car, got out of his vehicle, crossed the street and stood in front of the soldier who was on duty guarding the intersection.
In a security video, the man is seen taking out a Molotov cocktail, lighting it, throwing it at the soldier, getting back in his car and driving off.
The soldier managed to dodge the firebomb and did nothing else in response.
The IDF, said that they are investigating to determine whether his actions were appropriate or not. The incident ended without anyone getting hurt.

Smart soldier! Avoided getting charged for killing an Arab. He knows what happens to soldiers that “react”.
Well at least John Kerry and Susan Rice are happy. President Harris wants “both sides” to tone down the inflammatory rhetoric.
If he had shot in revenge he would face a court marshal and be imprisoned for 690 years – his body will lay in tomb until his 690 years are up. If he had preempted the attack and acted in self defense, well maybe the miscreant was just coming to ask directions! איך מיין who says he’s a terrorist? Like my husband would say, may-hay-cha tay-say.
I guess he holds 72…
next we’re going to hear that he got arrested for it…
This is what happens because of the left in Israel.
The left hates Israel and is ruining eretz yisroel.
The left is so worried what”the world”would say if we kill a terrorist, we can’t even defend ourselves and protect our own lives.
The Arabs know that and they do whatever they want.
Of course the “media”won’t show the world that the Arabs are trying to murder us every day.
I know personally a few friends of mine that sat in jail just for protecting their own lives.
Very very sad
Meanwhile the Arabs are building all over Judea and Samaria illegally and we can’t build, again because of the left
