Was wondering the same: are they watching fornexplosions in Gaza, or are they waiting for fireworks created by the Iron Dome?

Both, I guess. Sky looks like sunset area over there, so looking West fits Gaza.

As far as I know Iron Dome isn't completely fail proof, it's 'only' 90% accurate or so. Wouldn't be completely safe to sit there. Besides those explosions are probably not very big or hard to see, and I suppose they're pretty scarce. Here's a picture of an interception; not a very impressive explosion.


It's from the same website that the google reversed image search landed me on; it says that the previous picture is a bunch of residents overlooking the Israeli offensive in the distance.

There are constant alerts in the settlements closest to Gaza. Peoples lifes stand still. The alternative is to stay inside and wait for the next alert, then running to a shelter. If you stand on that hill overwatching Gaza, you see it coming, at least. Though it is morally questionable to cheer at the bombardment.

If you catch the right details, it looks like Star Wars.

Dutch highways closed off to transport the first victims of flight MH17 from Eindhoven airport to a military base, where they will be identified. The escorts are Dutch military police.

Not truly a military picture but I just really liked the way our entire country is dealing with it and how they closed off some of the busiest highways to show respect to these innocent victims, and I wanted to share it. It's kinda military due to the way the plane went down.

And as a bonus a beautifull picture taken of the plane that brought them in:

Yiğit Şahan, one of the 3 soldiers killed 2 nights ago when a PYD/PKK group opened fire to a guard tower on the border from the Syrian side.

Operations continue in the region and 8 PYD/PKK members have been captured dead.

I find it silly how they disrupt the traffic of thousands of people just because of dead bodies.

Do unnecessary civilian casualties caused by a mistake during an entirely pointless conflict for the sole benefit and profit of a stalinist asshole, who tries to hide the truth, count?  >:(

Hopefully you will not mind me correcting you, with the plane being Sikorsky "Russky Vityaz". Related, inspection of the plane by HIM Nicholas II.

But still, why with the bloody convoy? You could put like a 100 coffins into a single cargo container, no need for individual cars. Hell, you could probably shove all the bodies in a single container without the coffins.

It's called respect for the family and their relatives.
