It will now be easier for Israelis to carry firearms for self-defense in the wake of the worst terror attack in the nation’s history.
Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir announced on Sunday he has ordered officials responsible for issuing gun licenses to broaden its standards. As the death toll inflicted by terror group Hamas grew to over 600, Ben-Gvir said he wants more Israelis to be able to legally arm themselves.
“Today I directed the Firearms Licensing Division to go on an emergency operation in order to allow as many citizens as possible to arm themselves,” he posted, according to a Google translation. “The plan will take effect within 24 hours.”
The policy change comes after Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israelis that saw terrorists carry out the brutal murder and mutilation of men, women, and children. Many more were injured or kidnapped. Israel has declared war on Hamas and begun carrying out airstrikes in Gaza, but it remains unclear if all of the terror group’s fighters have even been expelled from the towns they ransacked at this point.
The move to arm Israeli civilians in the wake of a vicious invasion mirrors that of the Ukranian government last year. As the Russian Army approached Kyiv last February, the government distributed 10,000 rifles to civilians hoping to stem the tide. The Ukrainian Army, bolstered by civilian resistance, eventually pushed Russians away from their capital city.

I believe you are mistaken. It is very difficult to obtain a permit to own a gun. The person who wants one has to come up with an acceptable reason to own a gun. People are often turned down. For example, a resident of Jerusalem was turned down because Jerusalem was not deemed "dangerous enough" to require a permit.

Whatever, that will soon change
The Israelis have always had a reason; they just chose to ignore reality.
When your neighbors repeatedly threaten to kill you taking precautions is wise.
I guess the first question is, how are they going to arm themselves?
Second question is....who’s going to give them and ration the ammunition so the rich guy isn’t buying pallets full of 9mm and 556, while the poor guy across town is lucky to get 20rds?
“I guess the first question is, how are they going to arm themselves?”
Yeah. When the boat is sinking is not the time to start telling people they can bring a life-vest with them if they want to. And when your country is attacked by an enemy is not the time to tell your citizens they can go get a firearm and ammo and “please do their part” to protect your lazy rights-violating azz. Self-defense is a natural right for all humans and shouldn’t be restricted by the government without individual due process.
The law-abiding citizens should not be prevented from owning as much ammo and as many firearms as they want to purchase. That way you have a well-trained, well-regulated, and experienced militia when needed. Fifty rounds is just enough to draw the attention of the enemy and certainly not enough to repel a dozen troopers storming into your home.

What’s more of a standard for such a statement? Israel where everyone has to do 2 years and learn how to handle a weapon or Switzerland, a place that also has mandatory military service and if desired, the Swiss citizen can buy the weapon they were issued.
Israeli’s should have been pouring into the streets with M4s and Galil’s. Instead they were slaughtered.
Getting the Firearms is a big part as
Is WHAT you Can get....
Ammo comes into play...
Bit of Training...
A place to shoot...
I need to Clean it ???

There is a Lot to do and Learn.
The Holocaust should be on the lips
Of Every Citizen in Israel!

Fascinating to know Dean.
The Nation born in a Day probably had other things on it’s plate than 2nd A.
I hope and pray you are correct.
I like to imagine Diane Feinstein, the recently departed, Jewish, gun grabbing swine of a U.S. Senator, currently sitting in Hell and reading that Israel is going to hand out Assault Rifles and allow more pistols in the hands of their civilian population. I bet her head is exploding. Burn baby, burn!
Israel has opened all shooting complexes where civilian population’s weapons are stored, so that people can retrieve them and ensure their own safety.

Gees, what do you have for a very old woman who lives alone with no gun? I did go Squirrel hunting with a Rifle several times back in 1950s. I am a bit feeling less safe, having noting the in flux on the border moving north.
I've seen your web page, and can recommend:

I do not know why some of your pictures fail to appear on your web page.
I stripped out the code and here they are.

I could NOT find a way to display them on FR.

better late than never. I think Jews in the US should assess their situation and arm themselves. I know many are opposed to guns, but you can’t be oblivious to the fact that lots of potential Muslim terrorists have entered the US under this administration and we have absolutely no intelligence on their personal history or ideology.
If you actually read the info they released, there are fewer than 10,000 people who will actually be able to arm themselves. But they’ll be able to buy 100 rounds instead of only 50. By the time this is over, most of them will be dead unless Israel gets very proactive. Which I can’t see actually happening.
And that **** is going to be happening here, soon. If you are not already armed, and trained, best be about it quickly.
Amen.
