How do you keep the Israeli government from swapping live terrorists for dead soldiers?

An off-duty soldier killed an on-duty terrorist:

Three people were killed and 44 were wounded - one seriously, one moderately and 42 lightly - on Wednesday afternoon when a bulldozer driver went on a rampage in downtown Jerusalem.

Police said that the driver plowed his vehicle into two public buses, toppling them over, and slammed into several cars.

An off-duty soldier took the gun from an elite policeman at the scene and shot the terrorist dead. The soldier, Moshe Klessner, 18, is the brother-in-law of IDF officer David Shapira, who killed the terrorist in the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva attack on March 6.

Klessner was assisted in neutralizing the attacker by another elite policeman.

You do not arrest enemy combatants out of uniform.

You shoot them.

If you capture them alive, you follow the Geneva Conventions - try them in the field, and when you find them guilty, execute them.


The whole mess in Guantanamo could have been avoided if procedure had been followed.
