An opinion post published Friday afternoon argues that today's attack occurred because security forces and soldiers are afraid to use their weapons due to fear of legal repercussions. The post specifically cites the imprisonment of Elor Azaria, the soldier who shot a wounded terrorist in 2016, as a precedent that encourages terrorists. The post does not provide details of the attack itself. The commentary echoes a recurring theme in security discourse, with a source warning Friday that villages in Judea and Samaria are full of weapons and that terror is a result of permissiveness, as The Zioneer reported.
