’Israel’: Live Ammo in Answer to Stone
Local Editor
"Israel" decided to allow its police troops to fire on Palestinian and other stone-throwers. The security cabinet in the apartheid entity has also approved a 4-year minimum sentence for stone throwing.
"The "Israeli" security cabinet has decided to authorize police to use live ammunition against people throwing stones and Molotov cocktails when the life of a third person is threatened and no longer only when the police officer is threatened," "Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said in a statement.
Speaking at a Thursday meeting, Netanyahu stressed that his cabinet wants to change the situation where stone throwers "can hurl these lethal and murderous objects without response and without being foiled," Haaretz reported.
Netanyahu praised the development on Twitter after the cabinet voted unanimously in favor of the measure, saying that "in "Israel", these murderous objects won't be thrown unanswered and without prevention."
"We have decided to penalize more severely adult stone-throwers with a minimum sentence of four years in prison and also to authorize larger fines for minors and their parents," the statement said.
