After rabbi's death, troops forbidden to shoot at suspect cars

The IDF's protocols on opening fire are to be redefined after a rabbi was killed near Hebron in a recent shooting incident. The new orders will prohibit troops stationed in the West Bank from shooting at suspicious vehicles. Warning shots are to be banned as well.

Ynet has learned that soldiers only will be authorized to open fire at a car if their or a fellow soldier's life is in danger. The soldier responsible for the rabbi's death could face removal from his combat post, and his squad commander could face demotion. (Yoav Zitun)
