Sunday's events on Israel's Northern Border reminded me of Dir Yassin.
As has become clear, the IDF did not kill 20 Syrians trying to breach the Northern border, as Syrian government controlled media stated. Israel did not kill 10 Syrians, Israel did not kill 5 Syrians, and quite possibly Israel did not kill any Syrian attempted infiltrators at all.
What has inadvertently happened though is that like in Dir Yassin where the Arabs exaggerated and completely manufactured "atrocities" supposedly committed by the Jews against them, the Arabs have once again created a new circle of deterrence for us - one we weren't really prepared to create ourselves.
And that's good enough for me.
Vayikra (Leviticus) 26:8 "Five of you will pursue a hundred, and a hundred of you will pursue ten thousand..."
