Open-fire regulations

Shocking video clearly indicates appropriate open-fire procedures have not been engrained in Israeli security guards and police officers.

Adalah demands Israel prohibit use of live ammunition against protesters; military retroactively invented 'key instigator' category to justify shootings of people who posed no immediate danger.

Every week, the Israeli military has responded to the peaceful civilian protests in Gaza with lethal and other excessive force, which has resulted to date in the killing of over 100 people.

Supreme Court fully adopts Israeli military’s position, refused to watch videos documenting shooting of Gaza demonstrators; Israeli military has killed more than 100 in Gaza since 30 March.

Since 30 March, Israeli soldiers have killed 34 Palestinian protesters with live fire, including a journalist and four children; 94 percent of casualties were shot in head, neck, face, and chest.

Supreme Court overturns lower court decision ordering police to publish regulations, thus hindering efforts to bring officers to justice for violations.

Adalah: Israeli police killing of 13 Palestinian protesters in 2000 was motivated by racism; in 2017, Justice Ministry PID continues to whitewash investigations of police killings of Arab citizens.

Demonstration by police at community relations event for 5th grade Israeli pupils contradicts the law, which only allows such force in situations of threats to life.
