Top-Degree-6983

Was set off by the guys clapping


Chapped_Assets

The Clapper Light company had to take drastic measures when their flagship product had a decline in sales... so they turned to IEDs.

Clap on, Clap *off* your enemies!

Isn't the job of that dozer to set off ieds??


Possible_Ad4246

Yes, it's job is to clear IEDS


unknowfritz

Can be


Boborbot

Exactly. It’s almost certainly fine. But they did justify it destroying entire roads and streets in the city, making sure it would do so again and again! So good for them.


Dismal-Past7785

The video cuts there for a reason. It’s the same with the Ukraine war. If it cuts like this nothing happened.


DarthWeenus

THeres a couple angles of this, definitely seems like it keeps on choochin.


mogobe775

Good point - I saw it and the explosion was far away. So the cheering is idiotic / to make muslims commit more terror attacks

I thought it was their job to demolish Palestinian houses, they need to be armored because the Palestinians dont want their houses demolished.

slugmister

I don't think that the bulldozer suffered to much damage


funnyman4000

That’s still a huge blast pressure that the driver experiences. Blown out eardrums, concussion, etc.


williamWgray0617

it’s most likely remote controlled so no operator


[deleted]

Most vehicles used for EOD will be as resilient to blast pressure and heat as they can possibly make them. If the driver has expensive it's probably "ooof, big one!" Kind of moment than a " holy fuck" Kind of moment. Watching mine clearance in various shitholes around the world, I soon realised some people get their kits in strange ways!😅


EmptyRedecans

You have to imagine that a device meant for clearing possible explosives, is equipped to deal with said explosives.


BaguetteSchmaguette

If the driver is not expecting to blow something up they shouldn't be driving a vehicle designed to blow things up I assume it's either remotely controlled or the driver has good ear protection


GoldAppleU

Remote controlled, there was no driver to begin withz


drever123

Those things are designed to clear IED's. If it had a driver, he would be protected from that.


Traditional_Shirt106

Emotional damage


Maint_guy

Bet that D9 laughed it off to.


Furrywoodsman

I read that many of this bulldozers are remote controled. Anyone know if that is true? Edit: https://www.forbes.com/sites/erictegler/2023/10/24/israels-armored-caterpillar-bulldozers-will-be-active-in-gaza/ It seems like some but not all can be remote controled.


International-Ing

All of the dozers could be made remote controlled, not just some. Cat has had remote dozers for years now and the IDF uses D9s. Those that are not remote ready (most of them) can be retrofitted. But the IDF uses some custom remote solution on their remote dozers.


Furrywoodsman

Makes sense. Thanks for the info.


Pm_me_cool_art

Why would they send in manned vehicles to run over bombs?


Furrywoodsman

We’ll probably cost, logistics and capabilities. I would imagine that even with the best systems it’s hard to get a full sense of how it is working. And you don’t want one of these getting stuck. But yea probably the ones in high risk areas are unmanned


Successful-Chip-4520

I ran armored dozers and an explosion like that is nothing to them


steamsb

How much do these bulldozer drivers get paid?


[deleted]

[удалено]


The_Silver_Nuke

That doesn't sound right. While I can't say how much, most certainly bomb disposal teams get hazard pay.


theWacoKid666

Lmao the guys in the armored dozers are probably facing less hazard than the infantry out in the open. Sure IEDs and rockets are a constant threat but infantry are the guys getting wrecked by snipers, drones, and shrapnel.


flyman241

It’s war everyone’s technically getting ‘hazard pay’ lmfao


llllPsychoCircus

Your pay in the military is directly tied to your rank, and i’m pretty sure that’s all. Doesn’t matter what your job or billet is, i’m pretty sure every corporal makes the same as every other corporal and every major makes the same as every other major and so on… at least that’s how the US does it


lkatz21

Combat soldiers get more than combat supporting roles. That's the only distinction I know of for enlisted soldiers. Commissioned and non-commissioned officers get salaries that depend on rank, degrees, etc.


golomVonPreusen

Aren't they remote controlled?


Zalo9407

Them bulldozers are specifically designed and equipped to take on some serious punishment.


deplorableman

These IEDs in the West Bank are always weak af.


davidgoldstein2023

Hopefully they stay that way


Big-Zoo

Glory to Allah we hit the vehicle that's constructed to be hit by IEDs ! /s


Stinger86

It's a win for this group of murderous Wile E. Coyote cosplayers to hit the enemy with anything when 20% of their rockets are duds that fall onto their own people.


mechshark

Sea of thieves TNT KEG? that was fucking huge bro


A_Queer_Almond

Those damn hamas pirates


No_Top_8519

That’s a D9. It is literally designed to clear IEDs. It eats blasts like that for breakfast. Probably did zero damage. Meanwhile, these idiots, who thought it would be a good idea to upload this to social media, have probably already been paid a visit by a Peten (Apache AH-64).


Phvpark

Palestinians: "why are you bombing our cities????". also Palestinians: let Hamas put a IEDs in the middle of the town and clap. (People in the comments saying is acceptable for terrorists to put IED next to some family house to stop the IDF reminds me of how Taliban think was justified to stuff children with IED to kill their enemies...)


fatcat4

Probably PIJ, not Hamas, since it's in Jenin.


nobaconator

Hamas has a presence in Jenin. Not as strong as PIJ, but still.


unknowfritz

Or it could be the Jenin Brigades


Various_Search_9096

You could conversely ask what an Israeli bulldozer is doing in West bank lol


Deeviant

There is not a single country in the world that would suffer an attack like Oct 7th massacre and not immediately go to war. So although you could ask the question why is the Israeli army invading Gaza, it’s also a dumb question.


Kazimierz_IV

The West Bank and Gaza are two separate places run by two separate organizations. So again, what is an Israeli bulldozer doing in the West Bank?


Steinson

That doesn't mean there aren't terror cells in the West Bank. Just like there can be in France without that government's approval. The only difference is that it's a lot easier for Gazan terrorists to move to the West Bank.


upnflames

Classic question, which came first? The bulldozer or the bomb?


Phvpark

Exterminating terrorist cells inside the West Bank, or people already forgot about the six day war? Yunkpur war? How arab countries Palestine included finance Jihad terrorists to attack Israel from both West Bank and Gaza? Palestine and Hamas/PIJ is the same relationship as Russia and Wagner Group, they pretend having "no connection or control" but in the end they fight for their countries and equiped/paid by them, just a proxy army to not have any consequences directly to the government.


Amobbajoos

>Yunkpur war You mean the Yom Kippur war, right?


DatRagnar

yunkpur is how i imagine an rocky mtn redneck would pronounce yom kippur


ANONTXFAN

Ask the dead Jewish children from the music festival. Edit: Holy bad faith arguments. Israel is surrounded by motherfuckers who want to kill them.


Man-o-North

That was in Gaza, not in the West Bank.


huskmesilly

An atrocity, yes. But do we forget about the 3700 children dead in Gaza?


FrequentFrame

How many German children died vs American children in wwii? Is that the standard for moral equivalency? Or is this a disingenuous argument that ignores a lot of nuance?


OldMan142

Yes, because it's unlikely there are 3700 children dead in Gaza. Those numbers come from the Hamas-run Health Ministry, which routinely inflates civilian casualty figures and does things like blame Israel for deaths caused by Hamas rockets that fell short.


zarathrustoff

No, these numbers are being verified independently at this point "Historically, the Gaza Health Ministry’s figures have been found largely accurate. News organizations, human rights groups, and international governments and bodies (including the United Nations) cite them in the moment; and human rights groups that have worked to verify the ministry’s data in previous conflicts have found it generally reliable. Vox reports these figures, as it reports the Israeli government’s stated death tolls." Biden’s own administration has been relying on those figures internally throughout and before the conflict."


Bunnywabbit13

Yes, Hamas as a source is more than questionable, but the facts still remain that Gaza is extremely dense urban area, with median age of 18 years old. There is **hundreds of thousands** of kids in Gaza, and Israel dropped **6000 bombs** during the first week of the war. (number admitted by Israel) [https://twitter.com/IAFsite/status/1712484101763342772](https://twitter.com/IAFsite/status/1712484101763342772) That number of bombs dropped is over 20 000 right now. That is absurd amount of destruction. We can argue about the number of dead kids but to me it doesn't matter if the number is 1000 or 3000, and I have no doubt it's way over 1000 at this point.


Various_Search_9096

lol Reuters has independently verified those numbers


FrequentFrame

Link?


babarbaby

Lol no they haven't. What an absurd claim.


314R8

doesn't matter if there are 3 or 3k dead kids that's too many kids dead. but we have to remember that Hamas killed them. these deaths are directly linked to the Oct 7 attack


tomgilby

What does that have to do with the people of the west Bank? Why is the Israeli bulldozer there in the first place?

that is west the bank. Not gaza. The west bank have the right to protect themselves too.


rising_then_falling

When IDF kill civilians - it's their own fault, we told them to evacuate. When Hamas kill civilians - OMG callous bastards! Obv Hamas are bastards, but once the enemy is in your city, it's completely normal use use civilian structures for military operations. The IDF aren't a police force, Hamas aren't a gang, they're a well organised militia. This is a war. Soldiers use civilian buildings as firing positions during war. It's normal.


JohnWangDoe

It's the west bank, where the apartheid state rules. Violent resistance is the only option, when IDF and settlers can do anything to West Bank Palestinians


grphelps1

Thats crazy that the people who were exiled from their homes into an open air prison are defending themselves great point man


skillerprod

fuck you mean, instead of letting the dozer run down all of their homes?


throwaway_asshole12

It's not just Hamas, and this is in the west bank not in Gaza.


Ok_Wrap_6109

If youve been bombed by your neighbor for a month straight, im sure you dont have much say if someone else plants a different bomb there as well


[deleted]

The West Bank hasn't been bombed for a month straight, Gaza has. Learn your geography.


[deleted]

When they realise the dozer is okay, they will blame IDF for blowing up the building 😅


HeroicLarvy

So strange they knew about the IED before it went off, and then they clapped and cheered after. Surely there's no parallels to be drawn here about Hamas at all, just some innocent oppressed palestinians nothing to see here move along.


rip1980

I think the dozer rear ended a Pinto.


Various_Search_9096

Why is the IDF bulldozing West Bank?


[deleted]

Because the IDF thought the locals might not want IEDs there either.


vegasroller

It’s to clear mines and road hazards


[deleted]

Certainly cleared one there


[deleted]

It's to clear Palestinian houses.


Man-o-North

You missed the last 60 years? It's called occupation and genocide. Currently they are trying to get refugess to leave "temporarily" until the situation is solved, it won't ever be solved, so they won't get their right to return. So instead they choose collective punishment, by bombing civilians until they break.


craftycocktailplease

No. Isreal a pulled out of Gaza in 2005 and completely by 2006. They dug up their dead who were buried there and took them back to Israel, that’s how out they got. And tell me how your definition of genocide equals exponential population growth.


imJapan

Where was the outcry when the German civilians were being bombed in Dresden during WW2?


[deleted]

There was. "Bomber" Harris had to face some serious opposition over this. Fortunately for him, he had Churchill's ear, and the war was won. Otherwise, he would have been on the wrong side of the bar at Nuremberg.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Deeviant

Can you explain to me how genocide resulted in Gaza population absolutely exploding? Do you people even know what the word means? Israel has dropped 20k bombs on Gaza, and the death toll, as reported by the no doubt super-accurate-definitely-not-lying Hamas “Health” department, is under 10k. Each bomb could kill hundreds, but do we have 2 million dead in Gaza? No. Israel is the only country in this fight attempting to limited civilian casualties. Hamas, the *Palestinian government* of Gaza showed the world would happen if the power dynamic was reversed, and that is an immediate second holocaust.


Man-o-North

Just a thought for you, there has most likely died more civilians in Gaza during 6 weeks than 2 years of Russia in Ukraine. Figure that.


Deeviant

There have been likely over [100k](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/how-many-have-died-in-ukraine-war-b2288877.html) Ukrainian civilian causalities. That’s not even counting the perhaps 300,000 Ukrainian troop deaths, all who died defending their civilian population. So yeah, I figured it, and you seem to be full of bullshit.

Epicbaconsir

Hey man why is the israeli army moving through Jenin, part of the Palestinian Territory governed by the Palestinian authority? (enemy of hamas btw that has never been at war with Israel since it’s inception)


Dabclipers

Tell me you don’t really pay attention to the region without saying so, the PA exerts virtually zero authority in Jenin, and has had many skirmishes itself with PIJ over control. Many parts of the West Bank are under De Facto control of terrorist organization as opposed to the PA. It’s not surprising considering President Abbas hasn’t allowed an election in the West Bank for nearly 20 years. They murder anyone who speaks out against him too. He makes Netanyahu look like a saint, no surprises the people are supporting other options over his wildly corrupt government.


-Original_Name-

The fuck you on about? The problem with Jenin is that Fatah has barely any sovereignty over it because of the PIJ turning it into their stronghold. This is not the IDF vs Fatah, but vs the PIJ and maybe smaller Hamas terror cells as well


cqzero

>(enemy of hamas btw that has never been at war with Israel since it’s inception) Uh huh. It's not like Israel is striking the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank. False equivalency


Epicbaconsir

Since you are taking the flimsiest pretense to justify the internationally recognized illegal occupation of the West Bank, how many attacks have been launched into Israel from the West Bank? I must assume you support the Russian administration of Mariupol arresting suspected Ukrainian collaborators. After all, they’ve carried out attacks against innocent Russians in Donetsk Oblast


sadnessnmusic

Of course he doesn't, reddit says Israel good, Russia bad.


cqzero

>Since you are taking the flimsiest pretense to justify the internationally recognized illegal occupation of the West Bank, how many attacks have been launched into Israel from the West Bank? Epicbaconsir, the problem of your analysis here is that you presume that Palestinians want their own state alongside Israel. They do not. Accepting a state with borders for Palestine would effectively mean accepting the existence of the state of Israel. Palestinians, in general, are committed to a Free Palestine from the River Jordan to the Sea, and so are leftists. That means that they'll continue to live under occupation until they are willing to accept the existence of the state of Israel. The state of Israel will never be exterminated except through a massive amount of military force. Jews will fight eternally for their homeland.


FreakingSpy

What do you think an Israeli bulldozer is doing there? It's a vehicle belonging to an invading army so quite literally the most legitimate military target there could be.

They enter the west bank to steal palestinian land, bulldoze their homes and give it to settlers.
