Killed because the hands of soldiers are tied by the leftist army elites and the Supreme Court. They don’t allow the Air Force to blow up buildings that have terrorists hiding among civilians. They would rather have the young religious idealistic soldiers get killed. That’s why Chareidim will never join an army more interested in destroying religion.
