Police and the National Security Ministry are seeking a change to rules of engagement to allow the use of live fire to disperse rioters during wartime, a Wednesday report said, particularly over concerns that Arab Israeli protesters could block roads used by army convoys in a future conflict.

According to Kan news, the matter has been discussed as authorities in recent months have reviewed lessons that can be learned from days of deadly inter-communal violence in cities with mixed Arab-Jewish populations in May 2021, which occurred concurrently with Israel’s 11-day war with Gaza at the time, known in Israel as Operation Guardian of the Walls.

Kan said the discussion was held between Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai and then-director general of the ministry Shlomo Ben Eliyahu, who recently quit.

Police were said to fear that in a future war along the northern or southern border, Arab Israelis could block roads to prevent military convoys from reaching their destination.

The report said police want to revisit the conclusions made by the Or Commission, set up to investigate a round of inter-communal violence in October 2000, in which 13 were killed in clashes with police — 12 Arab Israelis and one Palestinian. An Israeli Jew was killed when his car was stoned by Arab rioters. READ MORE
