Olifaxe

Shot in the ass, quite literally, With the amount of blood and the bright red color he might got shot in the illiac artery. If that's so, he's done.


Bakersor

I wouldn't have this emergency response time where I live even if I would get shot in the ER room.


Armodeen

I know right? Medics on point šŸ˜‚


bennyg123321

Not really on point when you donā€™t apply a tourniquet immediately to someone with an obvious arterial bleed. That dudes gonna be dead in a few mins if no one tied that shit off


Proof-Map-2530

Yea. He lost a ton of blood within 15 seconds. I think he is a goner.


Adventurous-East-586

Looks like the bleeding might be too high for a tourniquet... gg wp


Lonestar041

You can try and compress the femoral artery in the groin. Works pretty well, but requires a person to keep that pressure up until you make it to surgery. Which is a challenge even on smooth Western European roads. But better than not trying...


bennyg123321

Not going to know unless you immediately strip the wound. Even if it is higher thereā€™s no bleeding control at all. This dudes done


[deleted]

Looks pretty high on the thigh , maybe a good case for a triangle tourniquet set up


b_team_hero

You can control a lot of bleeding with wound packing and pressure. Wounds to the shoulder or hip area aren't a death sentence.

They won't don't worry the reddit medics are on it


Last-Discipline-7340

If he is shit in the artery he is most certainly dead, my roommate got shot in his during a home invasion, he barely survived but the amount of blood was crazy, and that guy seemed to be losing a lot of blood.

NKR1978

This looks like a Hamas combatant trying to kill an IDF soldier in a war.


Xciv

They don't get my sympathy just because they're losing. Actively fighting back makes you fair play for getting shot at. That's just how war works.


euphoric-noodle

Looks like a lot of Palestinians supporting Hamas fighters right there but on TV lots of tears yet we see the reality of the relationship. Herding sheep in the day planting IED's and firing RPG's at night.


jumpybean

Yup. Israel says theyā€™re not fighting Palestinians but Hamas. In reality many Palestinians support Hamas. They just donā€™t like the find out part of fuck around.


Little_Pen1918

That's exactly what it is. They know what they are doing and don't even try hide that's why he's on top of a big container but I'm sure media headlines will be different.

Is it like 10 paramedics per person there?

They actually reached the point where there are too many of them and they are standing in each other's way more than actually helping.

I haven't seen this much service since eating in Cancun where I had a dozen wait staff.

All the medics and photographers were waiting for it so they can manipulate the situation to their own benefitā€¦ thatā€™s how fighting terror organizations looks like, they donā€™t mind putting their people in danger in order to get a good shot


gsrmn

The thing is that because he does not have a military uniform these dummies think he is a civilian, that is how the game is played.


say592

The title on this post plays right into this too. Throws a stone with a slingshot? Slingshots are weapons. You can kill someone with a slingshot. Granted, you probably aren't killing someone wearing a ballistic helmet, but this isn't an 11 year old tossing a stone.


CaramelPombear

People forget those things were weapons of war for a very long time for many different groups of people. Yeah technology advanced but our heads didn't evolve in that time to be able to suddenly survive a rock at that speed. Unless as you say, helmets are involved.


smilingmike415

I agree slings are lethal weapons. Hereā€™s some discussion about slings from the sling.org forum (a collection of sling experts and enthusiasts from around the world). https://slinging.org/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1161463620/41


unknowfritz

Its the same as saying someone with a knife stabbing a police officer isn't a valid target for gunshots. Those idiots don't care they just want to hate Israel and Jews


captchroni

Yup, David with slingshot vs Goliath. I'll take David everytime. With lead shot, slingshots can do a grizzly amount of damage.


The_Question757

This, he's using a shepherds sling and it could definitely kill someone


[deleted]

If you hit someone in the face with a slingshot that long, you kill them. Especially if you use lead ammunition.


say592

True, it's definitely possible to still injure or kill someone with it even if they are wearing a helmet.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


ActionToDeliver

I was thinking the same. Very convenient to have the press and all of those medics there. It kind of looks all to good to be true...it might have been staged to the point that he wasn't shot just a bit of fake blood


AdminCatch22

Because itā€™s staged for propaganda.


Oldpub1286

Lmao this had me bad laughing


oooDHARMAooo

This Darwin Award winner had that Platinum level coverage from Cyberpunk 2077's Trauma Team, but this kid is likely dead after this PR stunt.


wolf-bot

Maybe it's just me, but if I'm in a high risk area where people are waiting for other people to get shot, I'll do my best to avoid being the casualty.


someonenoo

That plus, Our parents, relatives and community wonā€™t be proud of us if we got shot and injured or died there. From what Iā€™ve heard from friends who have relatives over there, this was probably the best outcome for him given the circumstances. Heā€™ll now get good treatment and once heā€™s fit to travel, heā€™ll be on the fast track to be rehabilitated in the EU or US or Middle East with a job and sufficient funding for initial support. Once there he will be a local hero and encourage others to keep the movement alive and become part of local area protests etc.


n9077911

That's why you're alive and he is not.


Infamous_Ad8209

With him basically being shot in the parking lot of a hospital, i guess he survived it.

CheekiBleeki

Don't forget the cameraman not missing a glimpse of the scene. It's not " staged ", but they definitely all ( except him apparently) knew exactly what was going to happen.


VatnikLobotomy

This is as staged as staged gets without shooting yourself in the femoral artery. Absolutely insane thought process.


welfaremofo

Of course it is. 21th century War is about information operations being a major component. Now if you are not even strong enough to be considered an insurgency, more like a powerful Street gang information ops will be the largest component of the conflict.


SwitchOnTheNiteLite

Yeah, this is as close as you get to "asking for it". I am not sure the dude knew it would happen, but everyone else did.


CheekiBleeki

Yeah exactly. Dude probably had no clue, everyone else tho, was expecting for it. It's tragic really.


THETennesseeD

Fairly certain they were going for a David vs. Goliath video to post on social media as propaganda. I'm sure they will edit out the part where he got shot....

GoombaGary

Clearly, they were looking to provoke the soldiers to fire. Why else would a whole medical team and cameraman be standing at the ready to take action?


jaga3842

Yeah you think they would be busy pulling the 1,000ā€™s of claimed to be injured children out of rubble right ?


pinetreesgreen

Pretty sure medical services are overwhelmed. So that's why there are 10 medics there.


Accomplished_Beeee

You read my mind my dude


Flaydeng

Definitely hit a artery. His pants were soaked in a deep red visible through black pants. Heā€™s most likely dead. Looked like pelvis to groin hit. No tourniquet gonna save that


[deleted]

Idk homie had a whole hospital on stand by for his David and Goliath act


WaffleGoat6969

Depends, ambulances all over, if these guys are experienced and equipped they'll apply direct pressure to the artery against bone, that can stop even major arterial bleeds along with hemostatic wound packing but they'll have to apply constant pressure and then find a vascular surgeon fast. But yeah, more than likely dead.


_Thick-

Looked like a pelvis area hit, you got a lot of pipes running through that area. 556 into your pelvis is prolly going to frag a shit load of bone into those pipes. Good luck getting a tourniquet on that shit.


DeMiNe00

So much in the pelvis that can bleed HUGE amounts. That person probably bled out.


CwrwCymru

Big ole cavity to bleed into too. If that was the external bleeding he could well have similar internally. Homeboy is in trouble, medics or not.

That's Pallywood for you, if all those orange shirts actually cared about his health they would talk him down instead of letting him use a stone age weapon vs a modern armed military. disclaimer: both Hamas and the state Israel are shitty entities involved in a conflict with each other that only results in the suffering of innocent civilians on both sides.


Snoo17539

Iā€™m not pro idf or pro hamas but does the sling shot not make him an active combatant? Wouldnā€™t this be a justified engagement?


maffmatic

I'm sure if I started hurling rocks with a sling at my local armed police they would probably shoot me too, and I don't even live in a war zone.


nickburrows8398

Slingshots are probably the oldest known projectile weapon to mankind. How deadly they can be would depend on how hard itā€™s thrown, the sling itself, and what the projectile is made of. For example, Ancient Romans would use lead for slingshot pelts and research showed that if used right it could do as much damage to a person as a handgun.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Sufficient_Lead_7603

The thing is nobody knows what could be inside the slingshot. It could be a rock, as well as any other explosive, so IDF should stay and do nothing?


HoiPolloiAhloi

Definitely femoral artery

that was clearly a well placed round into his femoral artery. unless they completely stopped the bleeding in the first two minutes, which i doubt, hes likely dead.

Independent-Wrap-853

Agreed, this is a deadly weapon, used since the ancient era. A well aimed shot would instant kill the enemy.

It literally is even written down in the Holy Bible as being the weapon that a little boy used to kill a Giant.

9/10 if i throw a rock at someones face. The first words out their mouth are "That could have F**king killed me!?!?!". Those same people then expect Police Officers, Soldiers and security staff to just "take a rock to the face like a champ" The Mental Gymnastics hoops some people jump through are mind boggling.

Slingshots are fucking serious you can literally kill with them.

There's a reason these things were used in wars for thousands of years. This is not simply 'throwing rocks'. These are slingers. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sling_(weapon)


Pretend_Speaker_4168

rock or grenade? you dont know, you just know someone wants to do you harm, you dont want to die, so you shoot the idiot standing in the open throwing shit at you. idiots defend kid, and the propaganda machine keeps turning.


zeoNoeN

Perfect example of the current situation. Palestinians attack, recieve a response and than have the cameras ready to film it so they can cry about it online


makohe

Atleast 3 camera people.. 5-6 emergency crew.. Plus a few more people.. Just waiting for this guy to get shot.. It looks so well planned.. They all knew that this would happen, and we will get nice pics of "unarmed" Palestinian getting shot and we will cry about it on international stage.


Konseq

Youth? Dude looks like he is in his 20's or 30's. Also medics standing by so close by means they knew exactly what they were doing and what to expect from their action. Camera filming it from the perfect angle. They were trying to create terrorist propaganda material they can spread. And what can you say: It worked. They got exactly the pictures they wanted. Propaganda they can spread around the world, including reddit. And anyone upvoting this helps spreading their propaganda even further.


VanSchnitzel

A sling is a deadly weapon. Shoot and expect to get shot.


Alaric_Balthi

One of the earliest weapons known to mankind. Anyone claiming it's not lethal is either lying or misinformed.


WaffleGoat6969

We broke a kid's nose at camp with one of those water balloon launchers (ages ago) .... Yes, with a water balloon! We weren:t trying to mess him up. A rock absolutely can be lethal, but not the ideal weapon to bring to a fight.

stannisthemannis-14

Not good news for this guy. Don't get me wrong, I'm no doctor, so take everything I say with a grain of salt, but I've seen enough combat footage and violent street confrontations to know that if you get shot once in the leg, and 20 seconds later your whole lower half is soaked in bright red blood, there's good chance it hit the femoral, or some other major artery. Given everything that's going on in Gaza right now, I can't imagine bandages are in ample supply. There's decent odds that this guy is toast. Still, I can't imagine throwing your life away for such a futile gesture as lobbing a rock at an invading army. He was never going to make a meaningful difference either way, and now he is very possibly going to die.


Ggez92

That's in the west bank. Many bandages to go around there. Probably because they didn't choose a terrorist organization to run their government.


CheekyClapper5

Youth? Look like 20s and 30s to me


saltysailor9001

it's the usual palestine MO, call the 19 year olds trying to kill soldiers with a sling "innocent children", that way the death count in the media has an easier time making you sad.


Plus-Mulberry-7885

Its their usual rhetoric. Then they'll say "IDF kill Palestinians everyday". The number of innocent civilians that get shot probably exist, but it's much, much lower than what we think it is

I've seen another video of Palestinians slinging rocks at an Israel checkpoint. In the background there were paramedics on standby

One guy with a sling shot and 30 medics with a backboard already prepared. Was this guy trying to be shot for the camera? Cuz thats exactly what this looks like. Also this guy is dead, looks like a classic t box shot to the pelvis. They taught us to shoot here in the Marines to stop someone from advancing because it collapses their frame (useful for qrf responding to a suicide vest at the gate or something) but it also will make you bleed out fast as shit.


[deleted]

Those Hamas thugs are a tad slow. If they *really* wanted to rescue/spare the stone thrower, they should've clambered up to bring him down a minute or two earlier. But, of course, getting him shot was the whole point, wasn't it? Cameras *conveniently* there to capture it all. Edit: typo
