The chief of staff concluded and wished a speedy recovery to the wounded. "The IDF will continue to thwart terrorism, protect the civilians and at the same time interrogate every incident thoroughly, learn and improve. In fighting, mistakes occur and we will collect you even in places where you make mistakes," he said.
Even after the interrogation, an argument ensues within the Cherry unit around the shooting incident. Veteran fighters in the unit claim that the shooting carried out at the cruise commander and his liaison were with intent to kill, after the fighters were apparently identified as terrorists. Otherwise, the shooting, which included seven bullets - would have stopped after the first bullet.
Sources inside the unit claim that after the operations carried out, it is clear that the bullets that hit the PLO and the contact belonged to the unit's fighters who closed on the building. .
The incident occurred on September 26, around 1 p.m.
A shootout developed between cherry fighters and armed wanted men in the village of Burkin in northern Samaria.
The wanted terrorist was arrested by the force while armed.
During the mission, heavy exchanges of fire developed, injuring an officer and a fighter from the Cherry unit.
One was injured in the health and the other in the pelvis, and they were evacuated with the help of a Border Police force under heavy fire from gunmen who arrived in the area.
