A Palestinian man from Gaza has been arrested after approaching the border fence with Israel and demanding that the IDF soldiers guarding it shoot him so he could collect a monetary reward from Hamas.

Mustafa Bana was among the thousands of Gazans who violently rioted along Gaza's security fence last month.

Toward the end of April, Bana entered the closed military zone adjacent to the fence and called out to the Israelis to shoot him. Instead, the soldiers fired in the air and demanded he back away from the fence. Ynet reports that a Hamas force also showed up and called on Bana to return to Gaza. He refused.

Bana was told by the Israelis that he could come through the fence, but that he'd be arrested and tried for terrorist activity if he did. Bana agreed, and is now on trial in Beersheva.

During his interrogation, it was revealed that Bana wanted the soldiers to shoot him so that Hamas would pay him $500 and a monthly stipend, a common reward for those injured while violently confronting Israel.

This incident is demonstrative of why so many Palestinians keep gathering at Gaza's security fence, and why so many have been injured by Israeli soldiers.

They want to get shot.

Some are forced to go into harm's way by their oppressive terrorist overlords. Others are swayed by hateful indoctrination. For the rest, Hamas resorts to one of the oldest tricks in the book, tempting the poorest members of society with cold hard cash to do things they would otherwise never dream of doing.

Palestinian Bystanders Tried to Help IDF Soldiers After Terror Attack - Israel Today

Palestinian Bystanders Tried to Help IDF Soldiers After Terror Attack

A young Palestinian Arab man rammed his car into a group of Israeli soldiers on Friday, killing two and badly wounding two more.

That naturally elicited more feelings of frustration and anger among Israelis toward the Palestinians.

At the same time, something happened that, after finally being fully reported, is countering that ill-will.

Following the car-ramming attack in northern Samaria (the so-called "West Bank"), a group of Palestinian Arab bystanders did their best to assist the wounded Israeli soldiers, and to prevent a follow-up attack.

The entire incident was captured on video by one of the Palestinian bystanders.

In the footage, after the ramming itself, a Palestinian man can be heard calling out to the soldiers in Hebrew, "Soldier, has someone called for assistance? Can we help?"

Aware that the other Israelis at the scene were understandably on edge, the Palestinians kept their distance, but were eager to provide aid.

Also of note is that the video shows that the loaded M-16 assault rifle of one of the soldiers who had been hit by the vehicle was lying on the street at the feet of the Palestinian bystanders.

It was a golden opportunity to carry out an even more devastating attack on the hated "Zionist occupiers." A member of Hamas wouldn't have hesitated.

But these Palestinian men were seen clearly keeping their distance from the weapon, making it clear to the soldiers that they meant no harm.

Graphic: Terrorist Rams Truck Into IDF Soldiers, Kills 4 ✡ "Purposing to Kill Thee" - ISRAEL365

And the words of Esav her elder son were told to Rivka; and she sent and called Yaakov her younger son, and said unto him: ‘Behold, thy brother Esav, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, purposing to kill thee. Genesis 27:42 (The Israel Bible™) וַיֻּגַּד לְרִבְקָה אֶת דִּבְרֵי עֵשָׂו בְּנָהּ הַגָּדֹל וַתִּשְׁלַח וַתִּקְרָא לְיַעֲקֹב בְּנָהּ הַקָּטָן וַתֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הִנֵּה עֵשָׂו אָחִיךָ מִתְנַחֵם לְךָ לְהָרְגֶךָ בראשית כז:מב va-yu-gad l'-riv-kah et div-ray ay-sav b'-nah ha-ga-dol va-tish-lakh va-tik-ra l'-ya-a-kov b'-nah ha-ka-tan va-to-mer-e-lav hi-nay e-sav a-khi-kha mit-na-khem l'-kha l'-har-ge-kha

Today's Israel Inspiration From the times of our forefathers, the Jewish nation has always faced an enemy; whether individual or a nation, there have always been those who hate the Jewish people, threatening to kill and destroy us. The enemies of Israel today are considered the descendants of Esav and Ishmael and they live within the borders of the Holy Land. Their close proximity to Jews allows them further opportunity to carry out attacks and murder hundreds of innocents. Just four days ago, yet another terrorist committed a heinous attack, killing four of our IDF soldiers and wounding over a dozen others. The families of the injured and dead are in desperate need of love and funds at this time.
