They put 41 people - who didn’t have anything to do with it - in the dirt and injured another 40 just to dig back up the bone remnants of one long-dead guy. And they didn’t even manage that much in the end, apparently. That’s just… so beyond the pale and the boundaries of all reason and decency.
Those people attacked them. The interesting thing is how outmatched the attackers were despite outnumbering a group that wasn’t there with the intent of fighting.
I admit that the articles I’ve read are not entirely clear about the order in which things happened, but my understanding is that the Israelis were trying to sneak in and dig up the grave without being noticed, they were noticed and attacked, and they called in air support. They were clearly prepared to fight, but their mission would not have involved any fighting had it gone according to plan.
you can bet that they were highly trained killers and not random grave diggers. This wasn’t Armageddon with Bruce Willis. they would have been disguised and heavily armed and supported.
Ready for a fight.
Potentially gagging for a fight.

TIL when military pops up in a foreign country uninvited and conducts multiple airstrikes at the same time, it’s not at all with an intent to fight.

And the civilians were essentially ambushed.
Sorry, by “it”, I was referring to whatever originally happened to the guy they were trying to dig up. I could have been more clear about that.
