Sinai is a terror-infested region and the IDF is more than up to the task of defending the borders.

Defending the borders with armed troops instead of a wall.

What a concept.

Get some training instead of sitting inside a walled in fort or training ground. Some real life and death scenarios defending the homeland.

Hell, I would volunteer to help out down there. Love getting some more sugar sand in my boots.

They have walls, fences, and geological formations including the Red Sea on the border with Egypt/Sinai. Not sure how these vehicles got across the border, or maybe they were commandeered or staged for the infiltrators to use after sneaking in. The infiltrators could have come from a tunnel under the fences, swam or sailed to a beachhead, or come in legally and then assembled for an attack.

I’m curious, just from watching movies, it seems unusual for the patrol troops to get out of the vehicle to inspect a suspicious caravan. In the movies, soldiers generally keep cover inside their APC and order the suspects to exit their vehicles first. They would only exit the vehicles after the terrorists opened fire, or once they had the suspects covered. (though it doesn’t exactly say the terrorists came from the caravan, they may have been lying in wait for the IDF patrol to arrive using the caravan as a distraction).
