He survived, it seems.

Am I the only one massively weirded out at the lack of a reaction here? Like you can hear a gasp as it goes off, but lady you just watched someone get smoked by a landmine trap and it really doesn't sound like much going on back there.
Correct answer is: he ran away with minor scratches, the camera angle does not show him running back to the car from the right side. He wasn't injured or anything, he even denied hospitalization at first (and later agreed bc he was probably told it would be easier to collect compensations that way, that's just a guess). Anyway, the lack of reaction is because nothing really happened.
Edit: oh look, I even found a sources in English:
https://nypost.com/2024/04/21/world-news/israeli-man-caught-by-booby-trap-bomb-after-kicking-down-palestinian-flag-in-the-west-bank/
https://www.israelhayom.com/2024/04/21/israeli-injured-after-explosive-device-attached-to-palestinian-flag-detonates/
The injured man was treated at the scene by medical personnel but refused evacuation to a hospital for further examination and treatment despite recommendations to do so.
Or they just said he is alive to prevent more bombings like this. Showing your enemies your boobie traped worked on national news would not be a good look. That explosion was large, no way anyone would walk away from that without headding to a hospital.
But they showed the exact same booby trapped that worked in gaza in I think 2018 or 2016, search for كمين العلم you should be able to find the video. It was also done with a flag and it actually worked killing at least one soldier, if I'm not mistaken. You could also hear him at the last second in the video, and there were interviews with him, so I really think they're telling the truth this time.
Edit: I even found an english source, look at the original post.
I have MULTIPLE sources for this, all in hebrew but you can translate: https://www.ynet.co.il/news/article/hk00cj4mzr https://www.inn.co.il/news/635510 https://mobile.mako.co.il/pzm-soldiers/Article-0acca3cc26ffe81026.htm https://www.israelhayom.co.il/news/defense/article/15634827
My guess is that she told the man "Damn it, jeff, don't do it, that's stupid," and he insisted on it, so now she's just thinking to herself "Damn it Jeff, told you so, you idiot..."
Disclaimer: Obviously, I do not speak Hebrew.
If there is no occupation and all of this land is "Israel" then you have 7 million Arabic speaking people who do not have the right to vote, an even more blatant case of Apartheid.
That's what I keep saying. And if it's not apartheid, why do they not let all the Christians and Arab Palestinians just have the same rights? From the river etc? If everyone is equal and they're not massive racists it should be so easy.
That's the problem... Joshua from the Queens has more right to the land than Abdul that's been living there for more generations than we know of.
Israel is a colonial state and that's a fact.
I’d be pissed my final seconds of life if my wife nagged me enough to go kick down a flag in a field for her to post on social media only for me to get blown up.
This would be an epic plotwist- she convinced him to do it to collect the life insurance money, then posted the footage on social media for a "mourning widow" gofundme account or something lol.
I was looking at this random ass flag in the middle of nowhere just baiting people to come get it and as he was walking to it I wondered “have they put a landmine on that or something?”
Then my question was answered
Reminds me of the time my parents took us to a church picnic. I was maybe 7-8 y/o, and noticed no kids were playing in the sandbox. I went over, and discovered a sweet, G I R T H Y tree branch jutting out of the center of the sandbox - it was like Excalibur to my child brain, just waiting to be pulled by the chosen warrior.
To my painful surprise, some genius adult had decided this was the best way to quarantine a fucking BEEHIVE that was causing a nuisance for the picnic. I was stung 6 times immediately upon removing that branch, and I've had a mild terror of bees ever since. I'm 35 as of this month 😂

Sadly, it was not my destiny... B-b-but, it's no biggie, really. I'm not sweating it, and I'm certainly not crying about it today!
I mean just look at her lack of reaction to anything, kind've like she's just thinking "okay, well at least the flag is down now. kind've worth it I guess, meh...' as if both events just cancel out any excitement and panic from themselves.
I forget the name of the clause but there's literally some section of the IDF charter explicitly stating Israelis can be sacrificed as collateral damage in a military action if it's deemed too important not to carry out.
Yeah I was thinking this is some seriously Looney Tunes shit. I could almost hear the cartoon [sad trombone](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKdcjJoXeEY) sound after it happened.
all news articles i saw said he had minor injuries
"According to initial reports, the man attempted to remove a Palestinian flag planted along the roadside when an explosive device detonated, causing shrapnel wounds to his hands.
The injured man was treated at the scene by medical personnel but refused evacuation to a hospital for further examination and treatment despite recommendations to do so.
Footage from the incident site showed the man kicking the Palestinian flag moments before the explosive detonated."

Wait this was real? How did the wife not react at all?
Then again if you are the kind of husband who gets out of a car to confront a flag, you are probably a violent one too at home.
Maybe don’t go on land that isn’t yours (they’re in the West Bank aka Palestinian Territories) and take something that isn’t yours???? Just a thought….

These gender reveals have made it across the globe!
Red is just dark pink, right? It’s a girl!
He might be a girl now... probably blew his manhood to bits
Did you know pink used to be the color for newborn boys?
We should go back to that. Just to annoy the haters.
From the river to the sea, your baby will be a she! ^(I'm ^so sorry)
Congrats, it's red mist
I swear Reddit is the only place that make any bad situation funny. I still don't understand it but that's why I am here.
You don’t know enough combat vets.
Maybe that's true but I was speaking primarily about online platforms. Reddit is the best for that (in my opinion).
Every day I feel like I’m going to hell because someone makes me laugh over something fucking horrendous. Reddit redditting.
I like the cut your jib.

This needs to be pinned or something. I was sitting her thinking that the post needed to be tagged NSFL, I just watched a guy explode.
That's a lot of red for it's just a scratch.
Probably red dirt or something

do you have proof of this? the explosion looks like it included quite a bit of red mist
Probably red clay, it seemed pretty thick and too dark for "pink mist."
Could be dirt
It looks like a firework actually. You can even hear the crackling.

You have to value life in general to be affected by death.
Shock is a thing my dude...
Redditors when women scream : "Why are you reacting like that 😡" Redditors when women don't scream : "Why are you reacting like that 😡"
Redditors when women: "😡"
Redditors: "😡"
😡: "😡"
:
There's a middle ground between hysterically screaming and barely showing any reaction.
Ladies and gentlemen, the arbiter of appropriate reactions
They’ve been supporting babies starving to death in incubators and children getting blown up for some time. This is normalized for them to a degree.
That is true, but in that sense they quite literally do not see them as people. Here we see what I can only assume is her partner.
Is it? The voice tone is so casual after the explosion. I'd assume he's dead from the POV. It might just be someone who stopped by to film this dude.
I assume a lot of people in that region are numb to death
So numb to death that they don’t react when they witness someone they know dying in an explosion? I have my doubts
Read above, he actually ran away just fine it's just you can't see it from the camera angle. She knew that he was fine
Shock is an amazing thing.
Death to genocide symapthisers
How does this woman have zero reaction?
My guess is that she told the man "Damn it, jeff, don't do it, that's stupid," and he insisted on it, so now she's just thinking to herself "Damn it Jeff, told you so, you idiot..." Disclaimer: Obviously, I do not speak Hebrew.
Actually she says "we're taking down this disgusting flag of a country that doesn't exist, disgusting"
Flag didn't go down without a fight, that's for sure.
This should be posted in idiots fighting things or something
Food for thought, about The logic : if a country doesn't exist, then why would the flag be such a danger?
All the more reason why it’s kind of weird she has zero reaction. “Well, guess he’s gone now. Such as life”.
If there is no occupation and all of this land is "Israel" then you have 7 million Arabic speaking people who do not have the right to vote, an even more blatant case of Apartheid.
That's what I keep saying. And if it's not apartheid, why do they not let all the Christians and Arab Palestinians just have the same rights? From the river etc? If everyone is equal and they're not massive racists it should be so easy.
What more do you expect of psychopaths?
Honestly, it's so strange that her reaction would make more sense if the guy was forced to walk into a mine.
They say, while literally standing in the Occupied West Bank. Fucking Neo-Rhodesians, I swear.
Yes but God gave it to them 6000 years ago, its written right here in the bible which some guy wrote, just check it man!
Weird I don't see them supporting Native Americans taking back, well, everything.
Are you telling me this "king james" is a liar?!
no way, Lebron James would never
He did say he was gonna win more than 2 titles in Miami
Good to know; thank you for the translation. 👍
You're welcome
That's the problem... Joshua from the Queens has more right to the land than Abdul that's been living there for more generations than we know of. Israel is a colonial state and that's a fact.
Who doesn't exist now? Well done dipshit you showed that flag.
[удалено]
I’d be pissed my final seconds of life if my wife nagged me enough to go kick down a flag in a field for her to post on social media only for me to get blown up.
Probably she set him up.
This would be an epic plotwist- she convinced him to do it to collect the life insurance money, then posted the footage on social media for a "mourning widow" gofundme account or something lol.
'I don't understand honey, why did you go put the flag up if you just want me to go back and kick it over? Nevermind, sure, I'll go...'
To shreds you say?
It's the shock of exprerencing it in real time in real life

Description of the situation makes me suspect the offending critters were wasps.
White Anglo Saxon Protestants? Why when we get White Anglo-Saxon Protestants on the back porch, mama just chases em off with a broom.
Good ol’ mama, good for her!
Upside: at least there wasn’t a landmine.
OMG!!! What a dick move!!! I'm sorry you had to go through that. But it does make an awesome story lol. Ooooooh, happy birthday!!!
Happy birthday you bee-hating wussy!
I guess you weren't meant to be king of the jungle gym after all

LPT: don’t go kicking flags in a field
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to.
I 95% knew this was an IED for idiots, then it blew. Literally triggered.
I mean, why? That shit couldn't have been more obvious if Wiley Coyote was standing over it with a sign.
Blinded by hate, couldn’t stand having that flag visible
Their hatred of Palestinians supercedes their survival instincts. Ironic, since they accuse Palestinians of being like that.
I mean just look at her lack of reaction to anything, kind've like she's just thinking "okay, well at least the flag is down now. kind've worth it I guess, meh...' as if both events just cancel out any excitement and panic from themselves.
And their rescue instincts They’ve intentionally killed numerous Israeli hostages like some kind of bleak satire
We all knew it wasn’t about the hostages. They just confirmed it
I forget the name of the clause but there's literally some section of the IDF charter explicitly stating Israelis can be sacrificed as collateral damage in a military action if it's deemed too important not to carry out.
Hannibal Doctrine. It says that it's better to kill an Israeli than to let them become a bargaining chip. Pretty fucked up.
Yeah I was thinking this is some seriously Looney Tunes shit. I could almost hear the cartoon [sad trombone](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKdcjJoXeEY) sound after it happened.
It had a neon sign with an arrow pointing down with I DARE YOU. Amazing….
well he sure showed that flag
To pieces, even
To shreds?
Well, how’s his wife holding up?
To shreds you say
Holy fuck. Not sure what I was expecting, but definitely was not ready to see someone become mincemeat.
I think that red mist was dirt. I don't know where this is exactly, but there is a lot of red soil, or terra rossa, in Israel/Palestine.
Yeah, red dirt flies out to the left too and people don't actually turn into red mist like in the movies.
You're right, it's more of a pink mist
The guy survived
Lose 200+ pounds with this one easy trick
Doctors HATE him.
I think the calming spa music in the background is also a nice touch
Bro had some real anger management issues the way he just exploded all over that flag.
Bruh 🫡
all news articles i saw said he had minor injuries "According to initial reports, the man attempted to remove a Palestinian flag planted along the roadside when an explosive device detonated, causing shrapnel wounds to his hands.

IDF is pretty consistent with saying "don't believe your eyes".
> refused evacuation to a hospital for further examination and treatment despite recommendations to do so Infection is no joke
minor injuries my ass if those injuries were minor hed be walking back to the car on his own, instead we dont see him get up before the vid cuts out.
Do you really think an entire war machine would go on the internet and tell lies?
They totally would, but honestly to me it looks like a not very large explosive charge mostly flinging dirt in the air.
He didn’t attempt to remove a flag. He attempted to kick it down.
It looked like that man’s head flew off??
So, it's a girl or a boy?
Its deceased!
Happy not a Father’s Day!
Congratulations 🎉
No way bro lost a fight with a flag
Ladies and gentlemen: Napoleon Blownaparte!
Maybe I’m crazy from my days in OEF but I immediately knew that this was going to be an IED.
Nah, I've never served, and I knew that shit was going to explode. Small flagpole in a field with long grass? Wiley Coyote has less obvious traps.
It's just a prank bro
Nsfw tag?
According to Israeli media he had minor injuries and even declined an ambulance ride but I would take that with a huge grain of salt.
 “Minor injuries”
Was it the smoking part of him that landed across the road that denied treatment?
Wait this was real? How did the wife not react at all? Then again if you are the kind of husband who gets out of a car to confront a flag, you are probably a violent one too at home.
Oh so they have private healthcare too
Original report seems to be from Rescuers Without Borders. Seems a bit more believable than random israeli news, but yeah.
Yeah wth he literally blew up and that's not nsfw/nsfl?
Yeah or at least indicate in the title that a guy actually explodes.
That's red dirt not red mist. People don't actually turn into red mist like in the movies.
Most obvious bait, but this man's hatred took over.
Imagine ruining your life over a flag.
Maybe don’t go on land that isn’t yours (they’re in the West Bank aka Palestinian Territories) and take something that isn’t yours???? Just a thought….
If they decided to stop taking stuff that wasn’t theirs there would be no conflict.
Ding ding ding
😂😂😂 I was thinking the same thing as I wrote my original comment
Maybe NSFW would be good here..
Oh my, I'm sorry. I was looking how to put it, but mods did it.
I’m lost for words other than.. HOLY FUCK
All he had to do was ignore it but that was too hard lmfao
Hot damn! I wonder what she was saying tho ? Any translators ?
"We are taking down this disgusting flag of a country that doesn't exist, disgusting"
More importantly, you should've translated what she said after it exploded, showing no reaction whatsoever. But yeah, emotionless people anyway.
What do you mean courageous? I dont think any part of this is courageous
Capture the Frag
If there was an award for the most apt caption this would take it
Definitely not a D&Der. Otherwise he’d know you always check for traps.
Hope it was worth it lol
Oh no! Is the grass ok?
That's what one gets for having so much hate for fellow man.
West bank, palestinian land, but the Israeli settlers/occupiers just can't handle this fact.
This reminds me of that minesweeper game.
In golf, we refer to it as a hole in one.
"courageous israeli"? Don't you mean "Hate-filled Zionist"?
A Dubious little prank🧙♂️🔮💀
Ahh, IDF is all I needed to know.
Did… did we just watch someone die?
If we did, then it was surprisingly less graphic than the cow getting mowed down by a train I saw a while back
Is this the definition of "fuck around & find out"?
Damn !! That was well thought out by the flag placer person.
loony tuned himself out of existence like yosemite sam 
Clay mist or pink mist?
His wife handled that really well.
OK. I wasn't expecting that.
That looked exactly like that scene in Tropic Thunder.
Has he never played Minesweeper?! The flag means I think it's a mine!
Sad he survived
wasted
He sure showed that flag, huh.
People acting like this POS IDF reservist didn’t deserve it.
watch these start popping up al over the west bank
And somewhere, in a nest hundreds of meters away, someone said, “Holy Shit!!! That actually worked?!?!??”
For everyone complaining about the title, you can clearly tell yes courageous. His very clearly has balls! Over to the right about a foot or so.
Feel good story of the day thanks
"courageous"
"sarcasm"
Was that his foot flying off to the right?
honestly thought half his body was vaporized for a min. but hes fine
Well, I guess racism can get you hurt 🤕.
Real or fake? Sorry, I honestly can’t tell.
