IDF-Islamic State Clash Sends Israeli Message: Don't Mess with Us
(Times of Israel) Judah Ari Gross - A short exchange of gunfire between an Islamic State-affiliated terrorist group and Israeli troops on Sunday ended with an IDF airstrike that killed four militants. Experts do not see it heralding a major shift in the dynamics of the region. "It was a short exchange, but it was productive," IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Peter Lerner concluded. The incident ended relatively quickly and with no Israeli troops injured. Brig.-Gen. (res.) Nitzan Nuriel said, "They paid the price immediately. I believe that the message was strong enough and simple enough: Don't mess with us. We do not cross the border. We take actions on the Israeli side, and therefore you cannot open fire against us. If you do, you'll pay the price." Nuriel added, "I believe that the decision to open fire against our soldiers was a local decision. It was not something that came from any upper echelon headquarters....The Daesh [ISIS]-style attack is normally a truck that is loaded with explosives or suicide bombers - this is not what we saw."
