#1 anti-shield missile?

#2 Perhaps "anti-shield" means armor piercing. Non-professionals might think of an RPG in those terms.

They may not know how the thin "cone shaped" part of the RPG round collapses to make a compact surface while the blast of the round which is only pencil thick but very intense, pierces through armor in a small extremely hot impact on a small area. Inside the armored vehicle its like the finger of God at that point.
Like an ice pick with a lightening bolt on it.

A person who still thinks like a civilian might call it an "anti-shield" round.

I doubt it was anything other than an RPG, they are common enough among these people. They wouldnt have Tank shredders like Depleted Uranium or other armor effective weapons.

Its hard to feel sorry for Palestinians, they are such stupid slow learners. They just have to kick a Jew and then they cry like a weeping fag when they get kicked back.

Credit where credit is due, that is some nice imagery.

#4 As of a few minutes ago, there was nothing in Haaretz or the JPost about this.

It is possible that this is just some Paleos trying to appear to be important.

Nor anything in the Palestinian newspaper Ma'an.. Forty-eight hour rule on this one, ladies and gentlemen,

#7 Goodness, g(r)omgoru. They do define reality differently than does the rest of the universe -- I saw that article and didn't realize the connection.
