Highlights: Proposal would allow use of live fire against demonstrators who block roads required for the transfer of forces to the front. This is also the case in cases where demonstrators besiege the community. The proposal was approved in a vote by Israel's Knesset on Tuesday. The vote is expected to be approved by the end of the week. It is the first step in a process that could lead to a change in the rules of engagement between Israel's police and the IDF, as well as in other areas of the world.


As part of the proposal, the district commander will be able to order the use of live ammunition against demonstrators who block roads required for the immediate transfer of forces and weapons to the front • This is also the case in cases where demonstrators besiege communities


Attorney General Gali Baharav Miara approved putting a resolution to a vote in the government that would make dramatic changes to the police's open-fire regulations.

According to the decision, the open-fire regulations will be changed as a temporary order for the period of war in the event of a multi-front event, in which riots will be carried out along a vital traffic route that is immediately required for the movement of IDF forces for combat operations and combat support operations and interferes with the movement of IDF forces on these routes.

Likewise, in the event that riots arise that cause access to the community to be blocked, placing the residents of the community in real danger due to the riot itself or due to an emergency situation in the community, including preventing the provision of basic emergency equipment to the community or preventing the evacuation of residents for medical treatment.

In such cases, with the approval of the police commissioner, the commander of the relevant district may order the issuance of permission to open live fire at the rioters, when the operational need will be the supreme value, taking into account all the relevant considerations before the eyes of the CBD.
