Six soldiers were wounded on Tuesday evening by a barrage of mortar shells in the Gaza Region. The condition of the six wounded soldiers has not yet been made public.

Yesterday, four soldiers were killed by mortar shells near Israel’s border with Gaza: Staff Sergeant Eliav Eliahu Chaim Kachlon, aged 22 from Tzfat; Corporal Meidan Maimon Bitton, aged 20 from Netivot; Corporal Niran Cohen, aged 20 from Tiberias; and Sergeant Major Adi Brigga, aged 23 from Beit Shikmah.

Yeah, dumb then, dumb now. Just reacted. Do they allow hunting or air rifles or bows or blackpowder muzzleloaders?

They allow you M-16s and M1s, with full military specs, so long as you get the license. I just don’t have the cash. I know there are compound bows, because I’ve seen them in stores. Don’t know about muzzle loaders or air rifles. All sorts of knives and even swords available.

Well, get what you can and stay alert. Lots of Freepers are praying for Israel.
