Israeli Soldiers Should Kill Terrorists 'In Their Beds' Following Shalit Deal, Former IDF Rabbi Says

[Purveyor]

The Israel Defense Forces' former chief Rabbi criticized a prisoner swap deal that is due to set abducted IDF soldier Gilad Shalit free, saying on Monday that Israeli soldiers should from now on "kill terrorists in their beds."

Public debate over the Shalit swap deal has been raging in Israel ever since the Israel-Hamas agreement was revealed, with the expected release of hundreds of Palestinian terrorists who are responsible for numerous attacks on Israeli citizens.

Referring to the deal, due to take place on Tuesday, former Chief Military Rabbi Avihai Rontzki said in an interview to Arutz Sheva that IDF soldiers should no longer arrest terror suspects, instead urging them to "kill them in their beds."

"A lot of cases shouldn't even reach court," Rontzki said, saying that the army should instead rely on the "wisdom of commanders and fighters."
