In one incident, young Israelis told of fleeing a dance party in the early hours of Saturday as Hamas gunmen backed by rocket barrages entered towns and villages by the border.

The rave party was attended by several hundred people near the Israeli kibbutz of Reim, witnesses said. Footage on social media showed dozens of people running through fields and along a road, escaping militants as gun shots were heard.

"The music stopped and there was a rocket siren," a young woman called Ortal told Israel's N12 News television. "Suddenly out of nowhere, they started shooting."

Another party goer, Esther Borochov, said a car had rammed her vehicle as she tried to flee before a young man told her and her friend to jump into his vehicle before he was shot point blank while she played dead until she was rescued.

Many of the people taken captive were at a "rave for peace" near Gaza - the kind of idiots who attend a "rave for peace" won't be carrying guns.

I think many citizens can but it may be a rather lenghthy licensing process. If I lived in Israel I would at the very minimum try to have a few Jericho 941 pistols around, a very nice 9mm handgun made in Israel and also available for sale in the US.

Also, for all Americans this is a lesson. And the answer to Biden and the other gun grabbers sanctimoniously telling us to save people from gun violence we should be disarmed.

No police or military are there when homes are invaded. They fill out a history of the crime scene later. And identify the dead bodies for the record.

Keep our 2nd Amendment strong.

Just like when the Cylons attacked the colonies in Battlestar Galactica (1978)

Exactly this.

One pistol and 50 rounds ammo is the typical limit. Casings must be turned in to get another 50 rounds.

I think a house full of guns and the will to use them are all that stands between civilization and this savagery.

according to Office of Justice Programs website:

“In Israel guns are strictly regulated yet widely available to law-abiding citizens who hold gun permits; gun control and tough punishment have made it difficult for criminals to acquire guns. There is no clear right to carry a gun in Israel.”

Confusing.
Sounds like an infringement of carrying.

Probably why our founders wrote our 2nd Amendment as “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
