[Link] 'Israeli Troops Use Rubber Bullets Against IDF Regulations'
However, Haaretz has learned that soldiers sometimes separate the rubber-coated bullets, which come in packs of three, and insert them separately into the adapter on the rifle muzzle to achieve a more harmful effect โ even though the army forbids this. Military police are investigating this angle of the incident, which has gained international attention since private security cameras showed Nadeem Nuwara and Mohammed Salameh, who had been throwing rocks at soldiers during a protest, getting shot to death while they were doing nothing but walking along a road.
The rules of engagement allow firing rubber-coated metal bullets from no closer than a few dozen meters, and only by those who have been especially trained for it, in order to prevent a fatal shot. However, according to the Bโtselem human rights NGO, from the start of the second intifada in September 2000 to the beginning of this year, 21 Palestinians were killed after being shot with rubber-coated metal bullets.
So seems to me that, the rules of "engagement" are very different from the rule of engagement in 2019 in the use of so called "non Lethal Weapons"
We see them also being used with devastating consequences not just in Palestine, but also in France, they should be banned world wide.
But then again armaments, are big business, call it offensive or defensive, everyone makes a killing.
