    “High-caliber” “advanced sniper rifles”? If they’re talking about the short-barreled ARs in the picture, they’re neither.

    I don’t get why news outlets make shit up like this. The truth is worse: those rifles are for close-quarters boots on the ground. They’re what you want when you invade and fight door to door in a city. That’s exactly what they’re going to use them for: systematically killing anyone they find in the target area.

      Yossi Dagan, has purchased more than 500 rifles to arm emergency security teams, and is now working to further upgrade their equipment in preparation for a future war with Palestinians, Masar News reported on 5 November. Dagan purchased dozens of advanced sniper rifles after raising almost one million shekels ($270,000) from supporters…

      They might be referring to two different purchases. One is in the hundreds, the other in dozens.
