    Security forces on Monday shot and moderately wounded three foreigners who were trying to illegally cross into Israel from Egypt.

    A number of the foreigners fled back across the Egyptian border, some were detained and the injured were given medical assistance.

    According to security forces, the foreigners failed to turn back when instructed to and some of them were armed and returned fire when the IDF attempted to arrest them.

    Unlike many instances in which such foreigners are of African origin, some of these foreigners were of Chinese origin.

    MAGAV is stationed on the unfinished section of the border fence and equipped with non-deadly means such as rubber bullets and tear gas.

    some of them were armed and returned fire
    That smells BS, a huge one

    Illegal migrant are never armed, that would be a too great risk for the smugglers (it is easier to beat, rape, abuse unarmed crowd)

    If fire was returned, it was certainly that some smugglers were there
    Or fire was never returned and it is a PR cheap excuse

    I don't think anyone actually thought the migrants were armed.

    'Foriegner' can (and in this case probably does) mean Beduin smuggler though confirming this beyond a shadow of a doubt is a different matter... so take it easy.

    Three Africans attempting to infiltrate the Israeli border in the early hours of Monday morning were injured during exchanges of fire between IDF soldiers and four Egyptian smugglers. There were no injuries among the Israeli troops.

    Looks like Mordoror jumped the gun a bit too quickly.

    Yeah, he likes to do that.

    Although the Jpost article was a bit ambiguous.

    Ambiguous articles and PR/propaganda are still different things but fair enough.

    It is a myth that the immigrants are forced and beaten to illegaly cross the border. Usually they pay for it and they are relatively well-off people. As for firefights.. it's SOP even here.

    THESSALONIKI, Greece (AP) — Greek police say a shootout between smugglers of illegal immigrants and Greek authorities on the Greek-Turkish border has left two of the smugglers wounded.

    Smugglers having armed immigrants is usually a bad joke waiting to happen.


    As for being a myth. Well, let's say that a couple of Albanian guys have at least the lives of hundred of chinese on their counscience. It is no myth. Especially since most of the time they are sequestred until the very last moment of departure.

    Protesters attack Israeli of Ethiopian origin in rally against African migrants

    Dozens in south Tel Aviv call for the deportation of African migrant workers; ‘the black presence is intimidating,” says victim.


    By Vered Lee, Tomer Zarchin and Yaniv Kubovich

    An Israeli citizen of Ethiopian origin was assaulted Wednesday evening in Tel Aviv during a demonstration calling for the deportation of African immigrants, just a week following the violent protest in Hatikva neighborhood.

    Dozens of protesters gathered on Wednesday near the central bus station in south Tel Aviv demanding the deportation of African migrants from Israel.

    The protesters were calling “leftists are traitors” and holding up signs saying “south Tel Aviv, not South Sudan.” The right-winged activist Baruch Marzel said that they hope to hold demonstrations on a daily basis, adding that they will not stay quiet “until the Prime Minister and the Foreign and Interior Ministers will start to act, rather than talk.”

    Idiots... classic mob mentality.

    Also having a reptile like Marzel take a lead in these protests is damaging for their cause.
