Once a mine is marked with a flag, you're not supposed to touch the square 


kongenavingenting

It even has the [red triangle](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/83/Minesweeper_flag.svg/152px-Minesweeper_flag.svg.png?20080910093606)!


Ijoined4Pewds

He clearly couldn't see the nearby numbers on the grid.


donsimoni

Supposed to, but is it actually forbidden? Doesn't seem so irl.


ReggieTheReaver

At least it wasn’t a Ring Doorbell taped to a tree


hplcr

I can't tell if that's a joke or not at this point.


PixelIsJunk

The ring door bell was a more powerful boom.


Pratt_

Is there any footage of that ? People meme about it a lot but I've haven't seen any footage of it yet.


Reverendbread

It comes from a Russian soldier talking about an experience in the field where his squad leader was on the receiving end. There’s no video of the actual thing afaik


Pratt_

Oh ok, thanks !


Lord_Abort

What's the story? 


Reverendbread

They were walking along when they saw a Ring Doorbell attached to a tree in the woods. The squad leader went over and rang the doorbell and set off the explosives it was attached to


maveric101

Darwin Award right there.


luis_of_the_canals

Hey if you see the red buttom in the wild, you are pressing it just to see if it opens the dev room.


A_Large_Grade_A_Egg

So you’re saying we gotta do it again with a hidden camera crew (and maybe David Attenborough narration) ?


Reverendbread

I wouldn’t be opposed


ghosttrainhobo

Some Russian telegram channel was reporting that one of their units on patrol encountered a button taped to a tree, so naturally, they pushed it to see what would happen. Of course, it was rigged to a daisy chain of IED’s.


hplcr

I swear we live in the dumbest timeline.


ghosttrainhobo

Everybody in the thread was like “I probably would have pressed it too”.


hplcr

I'm shocked they haven't choked on pieces of drywall they were trying to eat.


Zandonus

That shit does look edible.

Thank you for your service, and Semper Fi!


Hel_Bitterbal

Humans are stupid. In other news, water is wet, the Baltic states are based and the Russian navy is shit


AutumnRi

OneDishwasher

No, it's just that we exist on our timeline with some really really dumb people


InternetKosmonaut

ngl i'd push it too


Commercial-Tip4494

It really happened


hplcr

A decade ago I would say that can't be true but I've learned yes, sometimes people are that stupid.


Dezphul

put a soldier in an empty concrete room with no windows and three steel balls. check up on him in a day, and you'll see that he has broken first ball, lost the second, and impregnated the third


-_I---I---I

is there a video from that?


neliz

no, there's only audio footage of people discussing the event.


Domino31299

I feel like the only way to create a more obvious trap is by replacing the flag with a sign that says landmine


Rustyy60

even better would be "there is no landmine here"


mighij

Is there a carrot in this box? comes a close second.


MechwarriorCenturion

What a moron. How do you see the most obvious booby trap in the planet and think 'hurr durr I hate those people so I'm gonna kick the extremely obvious booby trap"


Nachooolo

In his "defense", he's a settler. They aren't exactly the brightest people around...


BarriMeikokiner

Just curious how can you tell it’s a settler?


Lord_Bertox

A guy in the west bank with a biased hatred for Palestinians and not in uniform. There arent't a lot of options


Dezphul

this is in the west bank, and the majority of israelis in the west banks are.... ?


varvar334

I would've guessed that the majority of Israelis present in West bank would be Soldiers/government workers before settlers. Just for the sole fact that Israel has a huge permanent military footprint there to keep things from getting out of control


G36

To be fair was not familiar with this trap but I looked it up and read that it is a very common trap in the area. It has been used all around Gaza and Cisjordania. So he should have know if he is a local I guess?


neliz

I mean, for us, a mousetrap is quite obviously a trap, imagine having an IQ so low you're out there "settling"


ClickLow9489

Its pronounced... MaRooon


Drake_the_troll

New capture the flag meta seems wild


czalon

New? Are you telling me that putting a sticky trap (or equivalent, depending on the game) on the flag is a new idea?


Drake_the_troll

Why do I hear fortunate son in the background?


TheTreeManIL

He's fine somehow, just a couple scratches on his arms tho


CaptRackham

I bet had he reached down and pulled the flag out at the ground like would be expected he would have lost his hands and taken shrapnel to the face. The kick probably saved him


xx-shalo-xx

Maybe next time don't touch the bait flags in the West Bank. Minding your business is free.


captain_sadbeard

You're asking too much of West Bank settlers. Being there in the first place means someone has passed through a lot of filters that stop the kind of person who thinks things like *"would taking someone's land by force make them mad?"* and *"Would running towards an obvious marker in the middle of an open field in a country where everyone hates me be dangerous?"*


granpawatchingporn

As someone who supports Israel, they're just making the situation worse


JackxForge

It's type so if that was sarcasm, I missed it sorry. That guy is in so many pieces bro! He did not live. No way.


AutumnRi

They are correct, he has already been released from the hospital with minor injuries.


MeisterX

Fucking crazy he survived that. Thought that was his head departing.


GodEmperorofMankind4

No, that was just dirt.


GodEmperorofMankind4

He did. That red was just dirt!


Hdikfmpw

Lmao people saw all the red and chunks of dirt and swore it was dude being evaporated when you can clearly see everything coming up from the ground.


Pachot_Zibi_Cosemek

Those guys really can't even put a minesweeper.


laheesheeple

Really? Looked like his torso took a vacation from the rest of him.


[deleted]

I thought i saw his head fly off but maybe it was the angle


groovybeast

They do a little trolling


Dudecanese

Remember kids, when at war, it's always safe to touch inconspicuously placed objects!


Fruitdispenser

This is not what Patron told me https://youtu.be/rFRfDs1qp8U?feature=shared


Hel_Bitterbal

"Hmmm, that's a beautiful painting. But it's a bit crooked though"


Gwyllie

Fucking hell how obvious do you want the trap to be? Since the first second of video, something in me was screaming DONT TOUCH IT! DO NOT GO NEAR THAT THING! Honestly i was waiting the whole time for him to step on a mine hidden in that sus tall grass. When he went to the flag unharmed i was like "Yep, its the flag itself then." and suprise suprise, it was! This shit is something your own army is supposed to teach you NOT TO DO, since like WWI or invention of mines, honestly no clue if that wasnt way sooner.


LtSoba

When a symbol of the “enemy” is in plain view bro probably got that patriotic tunnel vision


Gwyllie

Clearly and "enemy flag" is literally one of the most simple and oldest variants of "i hope someone will be stupid enough to touch it".


LtSoba

Honestly it’s some Looney Tunes ahh shit Especially with the way your man took the wind up like he’s about to kick a rugby ball


SolarApricot-Wsmith

Honestly, at this point just let Darwinism take its course, you guys can go touch the flag all you want but I’m staying right the fuck here with my limbs intact


Candy_Bomber

Looney Tunes reference had me waiting for him to just disappear in a classic pitfall trap. Whistling optional.


MT_Kinetic_Mountain

Should tag this as literal death inside btw and nsfw


tropicaldutch

Guy is fine just some cuts on his arms. Has already been released from hospital Will tag as nsfw however


TheHussarSnake

I'm glad he's doing well, but i'm not joking when I say DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING IN A WAR OR A PLACE THAT HAS BEEN AFFECTED BY WAR. Fucking seriously, I'm from ex-Yugoslavia and I must watch every step I take because some asshole maybe planted a mine there. 1/5 of Croatia is in close proximity to a landmine. The entire country of Bosnia is a mine haven. It fucking sucks. OK, just needed to vent.


vukasin123king

They found a Tomahawk generously gifted to us in '99 a few days ago in my city and detonated it today. Im so angry that I didn't get to see the detonation. When will I have a chance to see 500 kilograms of explosive go boom next?

Horrible idea, bro. [Bad things happen after Serbs get too much shoved up their ass.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%90or%C4%91e_Martinovi%C4%87_incident)


Hel_Bitterbal

History doesn't repeat itself Unless we make it


arthurscratch

Sir, might I suggest the beautiful slopes of Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine? There for only a small fee (1+ limbs) you can see 500 kilograms of explosive go boom.


AlphaMarker48

The next time they disturb another [WW2 bomb in Germany, that's when. ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1O0lO_j6Ngc)


IcyRedoubt

They'll probably keep finding them for another hundred years.


Metalmind123

Well, there's usually a few found per week in Germany. Over 2000 tons of uxo per year, about 5000 bombs and shells of all sizes, each year. Mayber like 200-300 of those being larger bombs. Though only very few need to be detonated in place.


_Krywoz_

"When will I have a chance to see 500 kilograms of explosive go boom next?" ↑→↓↓↓


Fit_Fisherman_9840

We still find ammunition from WW1 and WW2 there in Italy. In some mountain zones near the WW1 front you still need careful about metallic objects.


randomname_99223

My dad once told me of the time he went on a bike trip in the Balkans in the early 2000’s. In Bosnia he stopped to pee and was immediately confronted by a sign that said “Caution! Land mines!” (It was in Bosnian but it wasn’t hard to understand). He noped TF out.


anotheralpharius

It’s safe to pee on the sign


Roy4Pris

Driving in the Golan Heights, I pulled over to do the same, but then changed my mind https://imgur.com/gallery/G9sMAaV


TaserBalls

Nope with a 60/40 split between the mines and the rusty barbed wire yikes


mtaw

> 1/5 of Croatia is in close proximity to a landmine. That's particularly awful considering another 1/5 is in close proximity to Hungary


Hel_Bitterbal

That's what the landmines are really for


konnanussija

Explosives can stay unexploded and volatile for a really long time.


DetectiveFinch

Can confirm. In my city in southern Germany, construction workers find WWII bombs on a regular basis. It's not comparable to the risk of mines, because all those bombs are pretty deep, but it shows that they can still be dangerous after 80 years.


jagdpanzer45

There’s entire regions of France that are uninhabitable due to WWI. UXO, improperly buried bodies, and what’s left of heavy chemical weapons deployment. They’re called the ‘red zones’… except in Fr*nch.


Hel_Bitterbal

Red zones? Communist zones? TIME TO DROP SOME BOMBS ON THEM


Izukano

bosanac brat moj?


Vysair

Vietnam be like:


BeneGesserlit

I was in a place not actually that far from this spot and tripped and fell into some old Syrian defensive lines that I later learned were possibly a minefield. Also got horribly tangled in barbed wire. Gave me a much deeper appreciation for how fucked getting through barbed wire is. I was covered in heavy clothes neck to boots and moved really slow and still got poked good.


DMercenary

Yeah I was gonna say like did I just see someone get vaporized by a mine?!


dopepope1999

Good thing they suck at making bombs because if it was the Taliban they'd be finding chunks of him in Kuwait


sweaterbuckets

That dude is fine? are you fucking serious? It looks like he was blown to fucking pieces. You're fucking around, right?


butt_naked_commando

Nope. He got lucky. Very lightly injured. Didn't even want to go to the hospital after this


PHATsakk43

The concussive wave is faster than the shrapnel and a blast directly on the ground prevents a lot of spread of the effects. Not saying this probably wasn’t a life altering experience.


yyyyyl5

[here is a video by him](https://www.reddit.com/r/Israel/s/X1yHMZNDC5) He speak in hebrew, but all he says is that he was the one in the video and that he is fine and keft the hospital


Hel_Bitterbal

For some reason moronic people have an unnerving ability to survive things they shouldn't


partoxygen

How the fuck.... Like he was standing *right there* he should've died. My man has to go to church/mosque/synagogue/temple for the rest of his life for surviving that, by law.


vamos20

Looks like it was an IED made with low explosives (probably black powder) and barely any effective sharpnel.


tropicaldutch

Honestly looks like it was just a big firework, not a full mine or bomb. He’s perfectly good to keep sinning 👍


Undernown

Wait he survived that?! There are frames where he dissappears above the waist!


vamos20

He ran immediately after that, camera just pointed the other way


kZard

Ehem... **\[CITATION NEEDED\]**


Vast_Bullfrog2001

doesn't seem anywhere near death, nothing got blown off and he wasn't pushed back, looks like just minor shrapnel, cuts and maybe a burn


tropicaldutch

Here’s an article https://www.ynetnews.com/article/h132jrmz0


GodEmperorofMankind4

He’s not dead, or even badly injured.


tuinhekdeurtje

boobytrapped with some fireworks not an actual mine by the looks of it


HaaEffGee

Closer look at the longer video, it looks like it does kick up a significant amount of dirt and even a few rocks. Probably a half-decent little IED, but buried deep enough that it tampered down almost the entire blast.


groovybeast

I'm guessing it was supposed to be pulled up, not kicked over. I bet the ground absorbed most of that blast


[deleted]

No_Form8195

There are older videos of Israelis getting blown up when trying to remove Flags. I feel like touching flags in the middle east is best left to EOD personell.


facedownbootyuphold

target practice


Pratt_

Was it though ? It really looks like the most obvious bait ever. Especially for a grown adult that lived all his life in a country were an insurgency regularly launch suicide bomb or knife attack again civilian and soldiers alike. So seeing a random flag of the people from which the said insurgent is from on the side of the road in the middle of the undergrowth on the West Bank, which is a place were that people are even less happy to see you than usual makes a run of the of the mill Wile E. Coyote trap look like a most elaborated and subtle Vietcong contraption in comparison. Honestly the only thing to make it more obvious would have been a sign with something like "The last one to reach the flag leave Palestine with all their people for good"


TheReverseShock

After the doorbell incident, this is all I expect.


PHATsakk43

I feel this is the first time I’ve felt that the Curb Your Enthusiasm song memification is appropriate.


_oranjuice

His ass did NOT understand minesweeper


netflixissodry

I expected an anvil to somehow fall on him out of nowhere.


Pratt_

To be fair an ACME trap would have been less obvious and more subtle than this one, Idk how this man survived past 12 yo.


JackSquat18

ISIS-K would do that in Afghanistan. They’d put their shitty flag on top of something and put a toe popper like mine at the base of it and wait for someone to foolishly try to take it down and blow someone up.


ThatClaricSpell

The vietcong also trapped flags by tying a grenade to a rope that would go off when the flag was removed


schere-r-ki

That could have been one for the darwin award.


diwayth_fyr

I saw that coming from a dozen meters. And then I saw that explode.

Curbulo

Not sure if anyone needs this: the video is real, but the IED is nothing more than a few fireworks, nothing lethal. His upper body being blown up is clearly edited in by some Hamas fanboy. Still an unpleasant surprise for the guy.  Clearly non-credible.


Jastrone

i dont think we see his upper body exploding i think its just smoke covering him up


OutlandishnessAny492

Why isn't this nsfw


naturalis99

I've seen this video posted all over Reddit as not-nsfw. It surprises me too. But what surprises me more is that, just like the idiot in the video, no one seems to expect exactly what's going to happen!? The first 10 seconds of the video are a very clear nsfw warning to me!


Pratt_

Yeah the moment I saw the video start I was like "Yup, that's going to explode for sure" Fortunately for him he only got lightly injured (probably because he kicked it and didn't reach down to pull it). But I as surprise as you that he tought this was a good idea. He is a grown man, who of born here basically lived his whole life at the rythme of the regular suicide bombing, knife attack, etc. How tf he wasn't the first to realise this obvious bait wasn't trapped is beyond me. Like a child or a teen I would understand, especially children, they don't really fully understand the situation and the risk and all of course, and flags are colorful and cool etc, that's why children are disproportionately victims of unexploded submunition, or those PFM-1 Russian AP mines for example. But a grown ass man ? How tf did he made it this far in life at this point honestly ?! I wonder how he didn't already died trying to reach to the missing part of his toast by rumbling in the toaster with a metallic fork or something like that, let alone not already killed himself in a similar trap. This is the kind of person who are the reason why the Nigerian Prince scam was a thing for so long.


LtSoba

Bro was probably sipping the patriot juice and decided to record himself “striking the symbol of the enemy” for TikTok clout and that was enough to make him disregard any and all training he’s received in regards to this kinda situation honestly it’s kinda funny


TheHim2

Oh you really expect an IED under every flag you see?


HaaEffGee

In a conflict zone, the unattended flag of your opponent suddenly shows up at the side of the road. If your answer isn't *yes that is 99% booby-trapped* you are in for the same lesson as this dude.


alieninaskirt

Next you are gonna tell me if find a doorbell on tree in a warzone I shouldn't press it


HaaEffGee

I swear you can give all the training seminars you want, but rig your IED to a big red button that says DO NOT PRESS on it and you'll have 6 grunts standing around it riling up their dumbest buddy into doing a ding dong ditch.


SemajLu_The_crusader

I would shoot it with a javelin just to be safe


vegemar

The IRA used to hide bombs behind propaganda posters. When a soldier tore the poster down, a light detector would set off the bomb.

Ijoined4Pewds

I've seen low quality reposts with a slightly longer ending, show her screaming as she drops the phone into her lap. Objectively speaking it's still a horrific scene, but for a more "non-credible" response, it's hella based.


SaltyWafflesPD

No way this is real. No one is that dumb.


Puzzled_Squirrel_975

How much you wanna bet?


Howwhywhen_

Lmao so hateful of the flag they abandon all common sense


Zestyclose_Risk_902

This is like the third time I’ve seen a video of a Palestinian flag being used as an IED. You think they would have learned by now not to just Waltz up to it like that


jmon25

Since he just got minor scratches this is more like a reddit shit post than an actual booby trap
