IDF Changing Protocol: Israeli Security Forces Will Be Allowed to Open Fire in Response to Fireworks Terror

After months of increasingly common use of fireworks as weapons by terrorists, and in light of the vacuum that existed in the Israeli law in that regard, a new protocol was put into effect earlier today (Thursday) which now allows security forces to open fire if such use of fireworks poses a threat to their lives.

Fireworks have been used to attack police or army forces as well as residential houses in numerous locations. Exclusive video footage from Tazpit News Agency shows the firing of fireworks in the Old City in Jerusalem.
