Have you ever seen soldiers carry guns like this? Smiling while pointing at each other?
This is the Sebastia National Park in Samaria. Even though it is in Area C, it is surrounded by Arab villages. Because of the danger from those villages, Jews can only go to with prior notice, and under army protection, but it is an important archaeological site/park.
The women are playing paintball or perhaps laser tag around the old Ottoman train station there, which is also in Area C. They have every right to be there.
Notably, the Palestinian Authority has been encroaching on the area of the train station in recent years, essentially doing a land grab by paving roads and doing other heavy equipment tasks around there. Regavim has details.
A typical reaction to this "heavily armed settler incursion" comes from this Facebook guy who thinks that it is normal for religious Jewish women in long skirts to carry machine guns.
Oooh. such cutting sarcasm!

UPDATE: Gidon Shaviv is pretty sure it is Laser Tag.

This blog may be a labor of love for me, but it takes a lot of effort, time and money. For over 19 years and 40,000 articles I have been providing accurate, original news that would have remained unnoticed. I've written hundreds of scoops and sometimes my reporting ends up making a real difference. I appreciate any donations you can give to keep this blog going.
