Israel's security cabinet today (24/09/15) broadened the rules under which stone-throwers can be targeted by live fire, a statement from the prime minister's office stated.
“The security cabinet has decided to authorise 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,” said the statement.
On September 18 this year, a masked Palestinian youth threw stones towards Israeli security forces during clashes at the Shuafat refugee camp in east Jerusalem.
