Yes, holding up ambulances is terrible. Having a soldier shot by hidden gunmen when he looks in an ambulance is terrible too. Both have happened. If he didn't look, suicide bombers would use them. There is no doubt of it. Terrorists hide among civilians. The Israelis are the West Bank and Gaza to protect their state, because the Arabs started wars in 67 and 73 to destroy Israel. Then they lost the wars. Let's not forget how this got started. As for Arafat's recognition of Israel, he lied. Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Saudia Arabia and all the other Arab countries, except for Egypt and Jordan, have never recognized Israel. They have just shifted from direct war to proxy and PR war. If this conflict were really just between the Israelis and the Palestinians, it might have been solved long ago.

Terrorist, Disguised as Doctor, Caught IDF and Border Guard forces raided a number of Arab villages in Area B - under Israeli military control - this past night. The IDF spokesman said that six terrorists were arrested in Abu Dis, east of Jerusalem, and in two other villages near Shechem and Bethlehem. Last night, the IDF captured a wanted terrorist taking advantage of the relatively free passage granted to PA ambulances. He was disguised as a doctor, but alert soldiers at a roadblock near Brachah, just southwest of Shechem, detected and arrested him. The IDF Spokesman announced afterwards, "Claims are often raised against holding up ambulances at checkpoints for security checks. Cases such as this prove the evident need for these checks. In addition, IDF soldiers are direct to ensure that in humanitarian cases and medical emergencies, the ambulances must be allowed to pass as fast as possible israelnationalnews.com
