IDF released a video of yesterday's incident.

So what exactly are we looking at here?

I can only see 4 men having a walk as If they did nothing. Not sure any militia even acts this recklessly.

Is anyone of them holding anything? Only 1 was holding a small brief case. https://t.co/3vcxRdeuqV
Do you see that white thing in his hand? He went and picked it up from the area (he didn't bring it with him) and then placed it near the fence. He alone did all this, so why was he accompanied by three others? https://t.co/5NoGDw8hEV
We all know that when you plant an IED you get it with you right? You don't magically find it behind a rock waiting for you.

Second of all we only saw a square shaped thing, and the only IED in that shape is a claymore type called "Sejjil".
To plant it you need a wire and a trigger, If you want to wire trigger it. You don't simply place it

If you are doing it wirelessly, you also need to add some "components".

None are existent in this video. Even the infrared option camera option couldn't have been deployed.
Such small IEDs at the fence have zero effect. They are missing the standoff distance. So no, it was not an IED. It was a drug deal between Syrians and Israelis.

IDF successfully killed 4 drug dealers. Oh and don't forget the innocent sheep in the back :) https://t.co/oIK2P140Gq
And no don't think it's an imaginary scenario, IDF soldiers have been dealing drugs on the Lebanese and Syrian border for decades.

IDF arrested several throughout the year and Hezbullah lured many too. This is just one of those times when a drug deal went bad. https://t.co/FXj5oy8G3w
And if you are wondering what they got from behind the rock? It's money or the drugs intended for delivering. https://t.co/q37IyeEzum
Oh a squad of 4 coming near the fence? Damn where have I heard this before.... https://t.co/O4aF1eJigk
And for those replying, no I'm not denying Hezbullah has a certain presence near the border area with Golan Heights.

But if you are trying to claim that yesterday's incident is by Hezbullah or a Hezbullah trained group, watch the video again and explain to me what's happening
And for anyone who has never seen a claymore, her are some pointers.

You know it doesn't have those laser pointers like the one you use in call of duty.

And IEDs aren't magical weapons that don't need man in the loop or certain mechanism. https://t.co/pPDHxuxlPU
This and now let's see that border. Do you think any non EFP IED can penetrate it? An EFP is much heavier than how he held that bag and those aren't used against personnel.

Not only is their movement unprofessional or of any military, the whole IED to fence is not plausible. https://t.co/PhnM1uCFur
Final point and I'll end this. Did you see what area they were operating in? An area with literally zero cover and just open fields for miles.

So unless you think anyone is sane to walk kms in open fields with an IED and plant it on a bordered fence during max alert, be my guest https://t.co/NkPmaQ9hxP
An the mere fact that IDF didn't ID them or where they came through, knowing that they used to monitor all Syrian army activity inside Syria and in their bases, raises many question.

Did IDF showcase its force by Killing 4 drug dealers? https://t.co/KnrdtrchBM
