You ask "Are the IDF soldiers supposed to refrain from shooting when they are being shot at?"

What`s the "IDF" doing there in the first place? Why are they there? If an armed thug enters your house but then gets shot, who`s fault is it? Even if you, the owner of the house, are regularly accused in the media of being a "militant" (usually after the fact), what`s the armed thug doing in your house?

Yours is a rather arrogant argument, I`m sorry to say. If it wasn`t for the Israeli occupying army being there in the first place, this wouldn`t have happened. And if you think their actions are `protecting Israel`, that makes as much sense as suicide bombings "protecting" Palestine. You protect Israel on Israel`s own borders, not someone else`s land.
