Those “teenagers” were 18 and were enlisted to the IDF

Heh. Typical. Technically correct, but used in a way meant to be wildly misleading. Something similar is done regarding gun crime victims. One misleading stat involves "children" who are victims of gun violence. Some of these 'victims' are gang members in their late teens or early twenties.

I'm not the person you are replying to, but yes, an attack on an Israeli base is a legitimate attack, not a 'terrorist attack'.

and their Hezbollah affiliation was unclear.

Why would Hezbollah distribute one way pagers to non-members? These pagers weren't for sale on the open market. Hezbollah bought them for their members only.

Hezbollah actually had a good idea to use these pagers instead of cell phones. Cell phones can be tracked, these pagers can't be tracked. Unfortunately for Hezbollah, the IDF has infiltrated the Hezbollah's communications.

Flashing to pass 'might' have been a thing long ago. When I was taught driver's ed in the 1980s, we were told not to do it, so perhaps it was done in previous decades.

1967: Six Day War. Israel invades a variety of areas that it borders

You've made a pretty good summary, but I have one quibble: Egypt, Syria and Jordan were planning to attack Israel. Israel launched pre-emptive strikes.

Ok, I believe and understand what you say, but then that makes the AP story a little stranger. If no foreign, independent reporters are allowed into Gaza, then how does the AP know that Abed Bardini "...unloaded the stretcher with practiced professionalism, squinting into the late afternoon sun..."
