[LCM Articles] Stone-throwers fair game

[Carl Nehme]

"IDF troops currently stationed in Lebanon have permission to open fire on
stone-throwing Hizbullah supporters," IDF Chief of General Staff Lt.- Gen.
Dan Halutz said at Wednesday's cabinet meeting. 

The chief of staff told cabinet ministers that according to the IDF
directive, troops were permitted to fire in the air and then at the legs of
those hurling rocks in their direction. In addition, in the event that the
troops sensed that they were in real danger they were granted permission to
shoot to kill.
