Benjamin Netanyahu considers using live sniper fire against stone throwers
[Telegraph] Israeli leader asks attorney general whether it is legal to deploy the same means in East Jerusalem and Israel as the army uses in the West Bank.
The M2A1-7, using controlled bursts of 3-4 seconds in length should be a sufficient deterrent. | Israeli police could be allowed to open live sniper fire against stone-throwers after Benjamin Netanyahu requested advice on whether the move would be legal.
Of course it's legal. What's legal about throwing a rock? | Israel's prime minister said he planned to change the rules of engagement and declare "war against stone-throwers and firebomb throwers" following this week's death of an Israeli motorist, Alexander Levlovitch, who lost control of his car apparently after it was hit by a stone.
