Israeli man renovate his parents' house, finds weapons and ammo treasure in the attic

Sounds like a lot has changed since Oct 7.

Eligibility criteria for a gun licence were expanded to include past and present volunteers in the emergency services, as well as anyone over the age of 21 who has done at least two years military service.

The changes were estimated to have increased the pool of eligible gun owners threefold.

According to the latest Israeli government figures, 288,345 gun licence applications have been registered since October 7, a jump of more than 700 per cent from the months before the attack.

The figures also show about 1,000 new gun licence applications are being made every day, compared with 850 applications each week before the war.

Sort of. Not everyone who has done military or civil service, it is also tied to your place of residency, work, etc. If you did 2 years of military service as a tank mechanic for example, you live in Tel Aviv and your job does not justify it, you won't get it. If you went through the highest basic training (level 7, the most combat training there is at basic training) and you live in Tel Aviv, you will get it. It's complicated. There are 11 categories.

Aren't they also limited to the number and type of guns that an Israeli can possess?

No way that the collection would be legal for one person or family to possess there.

Yes, only one handgun is allowed for the most part. If you are a hunter or shoot clay - neither are too popular in Israel, to say the least - then you would be allowed to own a rifle as well.
Now, if you leave in a town/city which is in a "high risk" area and you are a member of their emergency squad, you'll also be lucky to have an M4 as part of the squad in addition to your eligibility for your personal handgun as a result of living in a "high risk" area.

The civilians walking around with m4s, are they former infantry or something?
 
This could be us in a few years. Biden let in enough hostiles to turn us permanently into a war zone.

Maybe. I often make the joke to piss off Chinese wumao and fenqing that if the PLA invaded the US, 90% would drop their weapons and apply for jobs at restaurants.

Either current reservists on vacation at home and they can't/don't want to/not allowed to leave their rifles at home, or part of an emergency squads in their towns/settlements. Could also be active duty on vacation. I just came back from Israel and you definitely see a ton of people in civilian cloths carrying their rifles, compared to before October 7th.
 
They were attacked a year ago. Wishing you were armed to protect yourself.
Looks like the father and grandfather didn't trust their own govt to protect them either.
So what do their soy boy children do. Turn them in to the same people their father and grandfather hid them from.
How soon people forget history..
The father and grandfather remembered the holocaust.
Their kids forgot in a little over a year...
The REPAIRMAN working on the apartment called the police.

Edit.. The repairman was the son ! What a fool
 
From a comment in the article.

There are great and very rare items here, full of SKS, SMLE, AK, KAR98 BARRETA 39/42 single shot shotguns, Luger 06 Mauser C98 pistols, original Carl Gustav machine guns, rare drum pistols and even a STYER HAN which is extremely rare and original! Walther 38 pistols

1911 pistols, rifles and more, all of this is so rare and amazing to find in such good condition,

I can't get my head around the fact these people live in the worst neighborhood surrounded by hundreds of millions of people whom want them dead and they are afraid to let people protect themselves. Even after what happened on October 7 you would get the wake up call to arm the citizenry because and attack can happen anywhere like here!

Sadly our politicians here have the same mindset.

The entire country is high risk.
 
11 categories of firearm permits. Are they for real?
You would think that when a nation wiped out 4 million of your people that you would want your people armed.
Boy, their politicians and govt officials should be removed from office after the Oct 7th failure.
They need to get with the program Switzerland has. Every person a defender of home and country.
Are they really that naive to think bad people follow rules?
Your country is surrounded by enemies and they think it wise to make it hard for their own citizens to defend themselves?
But hey, we'll draft your ass if your govt needs you. You just can't be trusted to protect yourself at home...

Everything. They disarmed the grenades, but took everything. No chance the Israeli police would leave it.
Firearm laws in Israel are insanely ridiculous. MA and CA look like TX compared to Israel.
Even if you are "lucky" enough to get a license, based on several criteria, you can only (legally...) keep 50 rounds in the house.
You need a full renewal every 3 years - meaning doctor's note and 4 hours of training - and a mid-term training/50 rounds shoot in between, every year and a half.
You are required to keep a specific safe in the house to store your handgun. Of course no one checks, however if your handgun is stolen they will start investigating and if there is no safe you lose your license. If both you and your wife/husband have a license, each of you need a separate safe...
Oh, and when you come do your mid-term and 3 years training, they "inspect" your ammo. If they believe it's "too old", you are required to dump it and buy new ammo.
Crazy.
You’d think they would have learned something from the death of 7 million Jews in Germany.
 
So, the newest Israeli generation is just as pussyfied as our latest generation... :rolleyes:
some are, some aren`t, but for most coocks it is political.
same as calling police on people who play catch with their dog off leash. some people just suck.

there were people who died, and there were people who poured gas on the heads of those who died and collected their gold teeth. people differ, there is no common ruler for everyone.
