What is the “sneaking” BS about? No one snuck into anywhere.

My apologies, I took it from Alouette’s comment. Going back and reading the original Ynet story, it seems pretty clear that the Hassadim knew the risk’s they were taking and decided to do it anyway. From Ynet:

[T]he brother of the 17 year-old injured in the incident told Ynet that his brother and his friends went into Nablus without first coordinating the visit and knew that what they were doing was dangerous.

“When the entries are coordinated nothing happens, this time they entered without coordinating, it was criminal on their part,” he explained. “To them this is all about the action and these are the consequences when you run wild.”

It’s horrible that people got killed over this, but they knew the risks and took them anyway.
