Israel’s National Security Minister has issued a warning regarding the use of shock grenades by police, following controversy over their deployment against protestors blocking Highway 4. The Minister convened an urgent discussion in response to footage showing grenades being fired at demonstrators. He stated that if restrictions aren’t placed on their use – limiting deployment to exceptional circumstances – he will remove them from police arsenals. The move comes amid public outcry over the police response to recent demonstrations. The Minister is demanding assurances that the grenades will only be used in truly exceptional cases. This action signals a potential shift in policy regarding crowd control measures employed by Israeli police forces. The situation highlights ongoing tensions between the government and protest movements.
