Israel’s Security Cabinet on Thursday
unanimously approved harsher punishments for
those throwing rocks, firebombs and fireworks.
The new rules lower the bar for police to open
fire on rock-throwers and impose a minimum
sentence of four years in prison for the offense.
“We intend to change the norm that has become
established … that the state of Israel allows
these deadly and murderous objects to be
thrown without response and with being
thwarted,” the office of Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu said in a statement on Thursday.
“This will change.”
Before the new rules, Israeli police officers only
were permitted to open fire on stone-throwers if
their own lives were in danger. Police now may
fire their weapon if they believe any individual’s
life is in danger. Under the new rules, children
ages 14 to 18 can face imprisonment for
throwing rocks or firebombs, during which time
their parents will lose financial stipends from the
government. The cabinet also is exploring the
legality of fining parents of stone-throwers
younger than 14.
Earlier this month, 64-year old Alexander
Levlovich, an Israeli Jew, died in a car crash that
Israeli authorities said was caused by young
Palestinians pelting the car with rocks.
Netanyahu, who had already been considering
more aggressive measures, declared “war” on
stone-throwers days later.
"Rocks and firebombs are lethal weapons. They
kill and have killed," Netanyahu told his cabinet
on Sunday. "Those who try to harm us, we will
harm them."
The act of throwing rocks is widely embraced by
Palestinians as a means of protesting the Israeli
occupation of the Palestinian territories. In 2000,
Faris Odeh, a 14-year-old Palestinian, was fatally
shot in the neck by Israeli forces while throwing
rocks at troops during the second intifada. A
photograph of the rock-throwing teen facing an
Israeli tank, taken 10 days before his death, is
now an iconic image within the Palestinian
resistance movement.

stone at an Israeli tank ten days before he was
shot and killed for stone-throwing by Israeli
forces.
The new rules come amid a wave of violence
between Palestinians and Israeli police forces at
the Al-Aqsa mosque, the third-holiest site for
Muslims, located in East Jerusalem.
Israel recently has restricted Muslim access to
the mosque while Jews visit the hilltop
compound, which also hosts the biblical Temple
Mount. Israeli officials say the restricted access
is to prevent confrontations between Muslim
and Jewish visitors, but the move has fed
speculation among Palestinians that Israel plans
to take over the site.
On Tuesday, the Palestinian Prisoner's Society
reported that over 150 Palestinians, including
several children, were arrested in Jerusalem in
the previous 10 days.
A recent poll by the Palestinian Center for Study
and Policy Research found that 57 percent of
Palestinians supported a return to an armed
uprising -- an increase of 8 percentage points
from a similar poll three months ago.

Ok

Natanyahu means business.

The tension between the two countries is getting more deadly day by day.

That ode(h) boy may think he is wise but so unwise. Facing a battle tank with a pebble.

Shey him na David.

TonyeBarcanista is absolutely right,thank God i'm not a Kwaran,i'm just based in Ilorin. But that's true,poverty is too much in Ilorin,you'd hear everybody saying "there is no money in Ilorin" "there is no money in Ilorin". Of all 36 states,Kwara state is the most backwards in terms of economy and thanks to a single powerful family,the Saraki family

Courage??

But if a Nigerian student, okada or keke driver oppressed daily by Nigeria police or army does the same, you'll call them mumu or ask what sort of weed they smoked to confront law enforcement agents with guns let alone an infantry with a tank!!

what is wrong with this religion of piss with stone throwing the same stone they went to throw in mecca that kill 1500 people and still counting ,during Kaduna crisis their women where busy throwing stones at Christians before boys flog them. thank God for isreal, you hate Israelites but worship their prophet such as Abraham, Davide and lots more. religion of piss indeed.

The dude is not serious, standing against a tank with just a pebble is foolish and that is putting it mildly.

I swear to God there is nothing in this world that will stop me from destroying Israel, not even a lizard will escape that time, and I'll restore the land to Palestine.

For a child like that to stone the soldiers it shows how oppressed they are. I would do worse if I were to be in that little boys shoes.
